  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration management using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible.
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Deploy and manage Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters in AWS GovCloud, leveraging services like Amazon EKS, ECS, and Fargate.
  • Monitoring & Incident Response: Implement AWS CloudWatch, AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Splunk, or ELK for proactive monitoring, logging, and compliance reporting.
  • Automation & Scripting: Develop automation scripts using Python, Bash, or PowerShell to improve deployment efficiency and security enforcement.
  • Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Work closely with software developers, cybersecurity teams, and cloud engineers to integrate security and automation into the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

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.
