• Work in tandem with development teams to manage and execute DevOps and Infrastructure initiatives
• Regularly evaluate and research alternative solutions to improve internal DevOps processes
• Continuously evaluate and refine the monitoring of our critical infrastructure and applications

Who you are:

• You probably have a degree in a STEM subject, but we’re happy to work with people who perfected their craft via a different route.
• 3+ years experience in demonstrating competency and positive results in a DevOps, SRE or Infrastructure Engineering role.
• 3+ years experience managing and demonstrating competency with AWS infrastructure, including EKS, RDS, S3, and others as well as professional experience with CI/CD tooling and concepts.
