Description

In this role, you will operate as a technical owner within a highly collaborative environment that balances rapid execution with technical excellence. You will independently drive initiatives from concept to production, gain deep exposure to cutting-edge cloud architectures and modern tooling, and directly shape the technical direction of the team.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5 years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or software engineering.

• Solid coding skills in Go, or Python to build and extend Kubernetes ecosystems (custom controllers, operators, admission webhooks, or cloud-native tooling).

• Experience building full-stack internal tools, integrating modern frontends (Vue, React, or Svelte) with Go or Python backends and APIs.

• Experience operating infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, and Helm.
