• Act as a foundational partner to engineering as the platform scales
What We’re Looking For
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments
• Deep knowledge of Docker and containerized workflows
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
• Solid scripting skills in Bash and/or Python
