Build and maintain cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices.
-
Partner with product teams, software engineers, cloud engineers, and internal and external stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.
-
Apply software engineering best practices to system design, implementation, testing, security, reliability, and scalability.
-
Support modern CI/CD and automated deployment practices.
