Senior DevOps Engineer (AWS)
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior DevOps Engineer (AWS) to help modernize deployment automation, scale cloud-based delivery models, and manage a hybrid infrastructure setup spanning AWS and on-premise environments.

Requirements
4+ years of professional engineering experience at a mid- to senior-level, with a proven ability to manage infrastructure independently with high autonomy.
