  • Experience with cloud native tooling including Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm

  • Background in building large scale infrastructure that deliver workloads via containers

  • Experience developing and deploying solutions in hybrid and/or cloud environments

  • Critical thinking capabilities that leverage fundamentals to deduce solutions to unforseen problems
