- Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
- Experience with containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS) a plus.
- Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
- Willingness and availability to provide on-call support as part of a rotation.
Preferred Skills:
- Experience integrating ArcGIS with AWS-native services and external applications.
- Knowledge of cloud migration frameworks and best practices (e.g., AWS Migration Hub, Application Migration Service).
- Background in geospatial data management, performance tuning, and optimization for cloud-based workloads.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform, CloudFormation).
- AWS Certification (Solutions Architect, SysOps Administrator, or DevOps Engineer) highly preferred.
