Orb

We're back with some spotlights on folks who joined the Orb team this year, and up next is Scott Bass on our Infrastructure team. Scott joined us earlier this year, and we'll let him share why he decided to join Orb (and specifically the Infra team): "I joined Orb as an Infrastructure Engineer to tackle interesting infrastructure and scaling challenges. I thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and look forward to contributing to a team that values innovation and efficiency!" If you want to work with Scott, you're in luck!
