Ability to deliver maintainable, tested, production-grade code. Cloud Expertise : Deep, expert-level experience with AWS (EKS, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS, ECR, DynamoDB, networking primitives, IAM, etc.). Container & Orchestration : Expert knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes (EKS), including advanced topics such as operators, service meshes, ingress controllers, and resource governance. Platform Tooling : Hands-on experience with developer portals (e.g., Backstage) and GitOps workflows. IaC & Tooling : Advanced Terraform (or CloudFormation), Artifactory/Nexus experience, and strong Linux fundamentals. Software Engineering Fundamentals : Deep understanding of SDLC, clean architecture, design patterns, unit/integration testing, observability, and secure-by-default practices. Strong familiarity with AI-powered development tools and best practices for using the right model for the right task , including Claude , GitHub Copilot / Copilot CLI , and OpenCode (or similar LLMs) to accelerate infrastructure-as-code generation, automation scripting, code reviews, and platform development.
