REQUIREMENTS:

Deep knowledge of AWS, including:
* EKS (Kubernetes)
* Lambda
* S3
* IAM
* Networking (critical)

Preferred Qualifications
* Experience with Python
* Familiarity with Kubernetes environments
* Exposure to bare metal infrastructure

What We Are Looking For:

* Strong problem solvers with an infrastructure-first mindset
* Candidates who are adaptable and can quickly learn new tools and environments
