  • Diagnose and help resolve production infrastructure issues.

Position Required Skills:
  • Proficiency with Python or another modern programming language.
  • Familiarity with AWS or other cloud service providers.
  • Understanding of containerization concepts and tooling such as Docker.
  • Ability to learn new technologies quickly.
  • Strong communication skills and a willingness to ask questions.

  • Experience with Argo CD and/or other CI/CD frameworks.
  • Experience with the Elastic Stack (Kibana), Grafana/Prometheus, or other observability tools and practices.
