- Partnering with engineering teams to investigate production issues and improve observability and system health
- Contributing to infrastructure-as-code, platform standards, and technical documentation
- 1-3+ years of experience in a DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE-adjacent role (flexible for strong junior candidates)
- Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, IAM, networking concepts, and container services (ECS or EKS)
- Working knowledge of containers and Kubernetes concepts (hands-on experience preferred)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform preferred; CloudFormation acceptable)
- Experience supporting CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and basic scripting or automation
- Ability to troubleshoot across distributed systems with strong communication and follow-through
- Hands-on experience with Amazon EKS
- Exposure to service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio or similar)
- Experience using automation or AI-assisted tools to improve troubleshooting, scripting, runbooks, or pipeline workflows
