  • Strong Linux administration skills
  • Experience building or working with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, CloudFormation)
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Splunk, CloudWatch or Nagios
  • Knowledge of high availability, disaster recovery and cloud infrastructure reliability
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to communicate technical issues clearly with both internal teams and customers

  • Experience working in Agile environments (Scrum / Kanban)
  • Cloud certifications
Why Apply?
