• Build and manage robust, scalable infrastructure and serverless architectures using Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, and AWS serverless technologies.
• Foster continuous improvement by embracing Agile and SCRUM methodologies and facilitating stakeholder engagement to ensure alignment on project goals.
• Provide leadership and mentorship to team members, contributing to skill-building initiatives and promoting an environment of growth and learning.

You can bring your whole self to work. At the company equity, diversity and inclusion is part of everyday life, and will be part of your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment, for everyone.
