Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with low-latency edge-to-cloud data pipelines
• Familiarity with React/Node.js for internal tools or dashboards
• Hands-on experience with a broader range of AWS services and IaC tools (e.g., Terragrunt, Atlantis)
• Exposure to additional monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus) or end-to-end testing frameworks

What We Offer

• Remote opportunity with collaborative team culture
• Exposure to cloud-first environments and modern DevOps tooling
• Opportunities for growth and cross-functional impact
• Dynamic and fast-paced engineering environment
