• Work within an Agile, sprint-based development environment.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of overall IT/software engineering experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure and cloud automation.
• Strong Python development experience — mandatory.

• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Strong experience with AWS CloudFormation.
• Experience developing scalable, reusable automation frameworks and scripts.
• Strong engineering and problem-solving mindset
