  • Deep hands-on experience with core AWS services (VPC, IAM, EC2/ECS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch) and managing Kubernetes clusters (EKS); AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or Security Specialty) preferred.
  • Solid foundation in build automation & CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), networking fundamentals, and zero-trust platforms such as Zscaler.
  • Solutions-oriented ownership mindset with the ability to independently manage multiple projects, prioritize deadlines, and solve complex analytical problems with minimal supervision.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven track record of collaborating across teams, building consensus, and translating complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated leadership and mentorship abilities, with experience guiding and developing junior engineers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
