• 3–4 years of relevant experience in SRE, AWS DevOps, Cloud Operations or Production Engineering.
• Strong hands-on AWS Cloud experience.
• Strong Production Support / Production Operations experience.

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes / EKS and Docker.
• Good understanding of AWS networking – VPC, subnets, security groups, load balancers, routing, DNS, etc.
• Experience with monitoring and alerting tools.

• Infrastructure as Code
• Auto Scaling and high-availability architecture

What We Are Looking For
