• Participate in an on‑call rotation.

• AWS: EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, Secrets Manager, etc.
• Experience building production quality cloud infrastructure that enables reliable and rapid deployment of microservices with effective monitoring and built in high availability and/or fault tolerance.
• Strong passion for using automation to create simple repeatable dev and ops patterns that ensures a stable, reliable experience for customers.
• Strong cross-team communication skills.
• Experience with the building blocks of large‑scale systems including load balancing, distributed/cloud computing, containers, instrumentation, and monitoring.
• Knowledge of cloud networking, including VPC configuration and cross-cloud connectivity.
