• A strong drive to be a ‘detective’ and understand why things are working (or not working) as they should, in other words, a passion for detail and an investigative nature.
• The ability to proactively diagnose problems using your holistic knowledge-set – and then get busy with coding a permanent fix, rewriting a process or working with third parties to ensure that lessons are learned, and problems never recur.
• A vision of automation as an opportunity to overcome scale challenges, and a flexible approach to technologies.

Must Have Skills:

• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash).
