• You use Infrastructure as Code to create, manage, and evolve reliable cloud environments.
• You understand CI/CD workflows and can troubleshoot GitLab pipelines, runners, and deployment failures.
• You have practical knowledge of authentication, cloud security, and networking, and can debug problems across these areas.
• You are comfortable supporting security and compliance audits by finding evidence and explaining AWS configurations to auditors.
• You have worked with Claude agents and understand the fundamentals of plugins, sub-agents, context management, and evaluations.
• You work collaboratively, take ownership of problems, and are interested in learning, growing, and leading by example.

Requirements

• Around 5 years of industry experience in software engineering, backend development, or platform engineering.
