• Deep understanding of Infrastructure as Code practices using Terraform
• Security-first mindset with experience building hardened cloud systems
• Experience with large-scale, high-availability distributed systems
• Strong architectural judgment and ability to evaluate technical trade-offs
• Hands-on, problem-solving mindset with a growth-oriented approach
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams
  
  

Nice To Have

• Networking fundamentals (routing, connectivity, architecture patterns)
• Kubernetes networking experience (ingress, service meshes, tunneling)
• Mentoring or knowledge-sharing experience
• Prior startup or high-growth environment exposure
