  • Deep experience with Linux systems and CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins)
  • Proven ability to design and operate scalable, reliable infrastructure on AWS
  • Hands‑on experience supporting SaaS or other managed software offerings
  • Familiarity with container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
  • Strong knowledge of vulnerability management and security tooling
  • Experience with at least one major public cloud platform
  • Solid understanding of IT operations best practices in high‑availability environments
  • Expertise in troubleshooting using monitoring and observability tools
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
