• At least 3 years of experience designing, developing, modifying, supporting, and maintaining AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or another major cloud platform.
• At least 3 years of cloud experience within a regulated organization.
• At least 5 years of infrastructure-as-code experience.
