About the Role

• Deep understanding of AWS core services, networking, and serverless architecture
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline design and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation)
• Ability to design reusable, standardized deployment frameworks rather than manage day-to-day operations

Preferred Qualifications
