Candidates should have experience building and managing highly available public cloud infrastructure and services, emphasizing stability, scalability, and security. Familiarity with configuration management and infrastructure-as-code tools, including maintaining Terraform modules, is necessary.

A positive attitude, collaborative mindset, and customer focus are important, along with experience with technologies such as AWS services, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Datadog, and Terraform.
