WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• 5–8+ yearsin SRE, cloud DevOps, or infrastructure architecture.
• Strong AWS(VPC, IAM, EC2, S3, KMS) and hands-on GovCloud exposure.
• Kubernetes/EKS depth.Cluster upgrades, Helm, container security, not just kubectl basics.
• Comfort with Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, and GitOps workflows.
• US citizenship and US-soil residency,with availability for rotational on-call coverage.

WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US
