- Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization technologies.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Bash and/or Python for automation and debugging.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience working in fully distributed or remote-first teams, with willingness to participate in on-call rotations.
- Competitive compensation package aligned with experience and market standards
