• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
• Working knowledge of logging/monitoring tools like Datadog, Splunk, CloudWatch
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work across teams

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience in cloud migration or internal developer platforms
• Experience with artifact management tools (e.g., JFrog Artifactory)
• Strong communication and documentation skills

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has transitioned from backend development into DevOps/platform engineering
• Enjoys solving technical challenges that improve developer productivity
• Can explain systems clearly and collaborate across departments
• Brings a deep understanding of cloud infrastructure and developer workflows

Why Join?

• Join a tech-driven, well-funded institution on a multi-year cloud transformation
