• Collaborate with developers to refactor deployment scripts and improve test coverage

Must-have skills

• Deep experience with Docker and Kubernetes in production
• Proficiency in AWS services (ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, IAM)
• Strong CI/CD pipeline design using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions
• Infrastructure‑as‑Code expertise (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Solid scripting skills (Bash, Python) for automation

Nice to have

• Experience with service mesh (Istio, Linkerd)
• Knowledge of monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog
• Background in legacy monolith to microservices migration
