  • Solid understanding of networking, security, and cloud infrastructure best practices.

Preferred:

  • Experience in a high-scale, SaaS or cloud-native environment.

  • AWS Certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer) are a plus.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge cloud infrastructure and architecture.
