• You bring deep expertise in software engineering and strong Python skills, focusing on building robust, reusable systems
• You have demonstrable hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including architecture, security, and infrastructure
• You've extensive experience working with container and orchestration tools such at Docker & Kubernetes to build and manage applications at scale
• You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments, demonstrating ownership and autonomy in driving projects to completion
• You communicate exceptionally well, confidently guiding both technical teams and senior, non-technical stakeholders
