• Deep expertise with Infrastructure as Code — primary experience with AWS CloudFormation and Crossplane.

• Comprehensive knowledge of AWS cloud services (compute, networking, storage, IAM, observability).

• Working knowledge of GCP — ability to operate, troubleshoot, and deploy in GCP environments.

• Hands-on experience with ArgoCD and GitOps workflows — managing application delivery through Git as the source of truth.

• 2+ years of scripting or coding experience (Python, GoLang, or Bash) for automation and tooling.

• Advanced knowledge of Linux OS and networking fundamentals.

Nice to Have

• Experience with artifact management and binary repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory).

• Familiarity with additional IaC tools such as Terraform (as a secondary tool to CloudFormation/Crossplane).

• Experience with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, GroundCover, or similar).

Who You Are

• Strong communicator — able to lead technical discussions and collaborate across teams in English.

• Team player with a strong sense of ownership, accountability, and a results-driven mindset.
