- Collaborate with development and IT teams to manage infrastructure code in GitHub, or platforms like GitLab or Bitbucket, with a focus on quality, traceability, and automation.

- Improve system efficiency through scripting (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell, or Ruby).

- Create and maintain documentation for infrastructure standards, configurations, and runbooks.

What You’ll Bring:

- 3+ years of hands-on experience managing AWS environments in production.
