Requirements

  • Several years of experience in SRE, Platform Engineering, DevOps or Infrastructure-focused Software Engineering in production environments
  • Strong experience operating production systems on AWS, including networking, IAM, and managed services, as well as familiarity with identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
  • Hands-on Kubernetes experience (EKS or similar)
  • Solid understanding of Linux, networking, and cloud-native systems
  • Experience with observability tooling and operational best practices
  • Strong programming skills in at least one language (e.g., Go, Python, Java, Kotlin, TypeScript)
  • A pragmatic mindset focused on enablement, automation, and long-term reliability
