• Strong hands-on background developing in AWS and managing cloud infrastructure with Terraform or an equivalent framework such as CloudFormation.
• Proficiency writing code in Python or Bash, and familiarity with modern languages such as Go or Rust.
• Comfort with Git version control, CI and CD workflows, Docker containerization, and automated testing frameworks such as pytest.
• Ability to work effectively in both Mac and Linux development environments and to use AI tools pragmatically in engineering workflows.
• Strong written and spoken technical English and a collaborative, approachable communication style.

Nice to have

• A track record of building internal CLI tools, project scaffolding, or open-source projects.
