Who you are

You have a strong background in DevOps engineering with at least 8 years of experience in building and maintaining scalable infrastructure — you've successfully implemented CI/CD pipelines and automated workflows that enhance productivity and reduce deployment times. Your expertise in cloud platforms, particularly AWS, allows you to design and manage robust cloud architectures that support high availability and security. You are proficient in containerization technologies such as Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes — you understand how to leverage these technologies to improve application deployment and management.

Your experience with infrastructure as code tools, particularly Terraform, enables you to provision and manage infrastructure efficiently — you have a deep understanding of version control systems and CI/CD practices that ensure smooth integration and delivery of software. You are well-versed in Linux systems and have a solid grasp of networking concepts, which allows you to troubleshoot and optimize system performance effectively. You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working closely with software development teams to align infrastructure needs with application requirements.

Desirable

Experience with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus or Grafana would be a plus, as you understand the importance of observability in maintaining system health. Familiarity with security best practices in cloud environments is also desirable, as you will be responsible for ensuring that security measures are integrated into the DevOps processes. You have a proactive mindset and are always looking for ways to improve existing processes and systems — you are not afraid to experiment with new technologies that can enhance operational efficiency.
