Responsibilities

• Drive cloud‑native solutions by leveraging AWS services, DevOps principles, and modern software engineering practices.
• Build and manage robust, scalable infrastructure and serverless architectures using Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, and AWS serverless technologies.

• A DevOps mindset, with practical experience in continuous delivery, GitOps, and Agile/Scrum methodologies.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills to manage client relationships effectively.
