• Create and maintain clear documentation and training materials to drive adoption
• Continuously improve systems based on user feedback and new technologies
• Monitor, debug, and maintain the performance and availability of internal infrastructure

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, focused on infrastructure, developer tools, or platform engineering
• Strong proficiency with Python
• Experience designing and building scalable systems and APIs
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and their SDKs/APIs
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
