• AWS expertise – Leverage and enhance Amazon Cloud environments to support current and future infrastructure needs, staying informed on new services and practices.
• Optimize infrastructure costs – Drive initiatives to optimize infrastructure for cost‑effectiveness without compromising performance or security.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 5+ years in Cloud Infrastructure, Platform Engineering Development, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering roles.
• 2+ years of experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, ELB, VPC, IAM) or equivalent cloud environments, with a strong understanding of AWS best practices.
• 2+ years of experience running Linux‑based systems, with advanced knowledge of Linux operating systems.
• Programming – Proficiency in Typescript, Python, Bash, or other common languages used for automation and infrastructure management.
• Infrastructure automation – Expertise with tools like CloudFormation (CDK) or Terraform to deploy and manage infrastructure at scale.
• Version control – Proficiency in Git and experience with platforms like GitLab or GitHub for collaborative code management.
• Curiosity and initiative – You’re curious, unafraid to ask “why,” and proactive in exploring solutions and innovative ideas.
• High availability mindset – You prioritize resilience and reliability in everything you design and deploy.
• Must have legal right to work in the U.S.
