- Containerize services and orchestrate workloads to ensure resilient, observable, and scalable deployments together with cloud engineers
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and deployment automation
What's required
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a similar engineering field
