Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering

- Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate platform changes into clear guidance for application teams

Responsibilities
- Own day-to-day operations and maintenance of our AWS GovCloud environment, including EKS cluster management, EC2, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, S3, and IAM
