Requirements

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

• Experience deploying and managing infrastructure in AWS
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate platform changes into clear guidance for application teams

• Familiarity with Python or shell scripting for operational tooling
• Experience with Datadog or a comparable observability platform

Responsibilities
