Preferred Experience:
• AWS professional certifications such as Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer
• Experience with Windows domain environments
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Splunk or Datadog

Additional Details:
• Denver-area candidates strongly preferred
• Hybrid schedule for local candidates (2 days onsite weekly)
