• Experience with containers and orchestration technologies (ECS, Kubernetes, Docker, etc.)
• Strong CI/CD experience with modern build and deployment tooling
• Background in software engineering or development prior to moving into infrastructure/platform work is highly preferred
• Experience building internal tooling or improving developer platforms/workflows
• Strong scripting or programming ability in Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, or similar
