If this opportunity excites you, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance service maturity, promote best practices, and maximize shared resource utilization.
• Architect solutions with a focus on production-ready, self-documenting code that minimizes technical debt and maximizes system reliability.
• Champion security practices throughout the engineering process, actively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities.
• Architect and collaborate in the review of designs within the team, simplifying solutions and leveraging existing tools and services.
• Prioritize tasks effectively, communicate dependencies, and deliver commitments with a focus on quality and urgency.
• Embrace and foster a culture of feedback and continuous improvement, providing constructive feedback and actively seeking it for personal growth.
• Communicate technical and non-technical information concisely and effectively, fostering knowledge sharing within the team and beyond.
• Build strong relationships with teammates, stakeholders, and partners, encouraging open communication and collaboration.
• Mentor teammates in a supportive and empathetic manner, promoting team redundancy and skill development.

• Experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, and their primary services and configuration.
• The ability to comfortably define and explain what initialisms like CDN, VPC, ASG, ECS, and S3 are and do, and how those might work together in a cloud environment.
• Experience with Identity and Access Management in public cloud environments.
• Demonstrable proficiency in containerization, including Docker, and use of orchestrators such as Kubernetes or Nomad.
• Experience with one or more programming languages, such as Terraform, Go, Python, JavaScript, or Java. (Preferred: Terraform, Go or Python).
