Experience of working in a cloud environment (e.g., GCP, Azure, AWS).
Passionate about driving a true modern DevOps culture.

Good understanding of SRE practices.
Awareness of security considerations and security tools used to integrate with the build pipeline covering OWASP top 10.

Together we make it possible. What you’d get in return:
