Minimum 5+ years of hands-on, in-depth experience managing and architecting infrastructure within AWS (EKS, ECS, EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.). Advanced production experience with Terraform, specifically architecting modular infrastructure and self-service platform capabilities. Deep expertise with AWS EKS (Kubernetes) in production, with demonstrable experience migrating workloads from AWS ECS to EKS.
