- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions
- Monitoring & Logging: Elastic (ELK / Elastic Observability)
- Security: Trivy, AWS Security Hub, AWS Inspector, security scanning tools

- Familiarity with SRE principles and reliability engineering
- Security certifications or deep interest in cloud security
About You: We’re looking for someone who is:
- Confident & Motivated: You take initiative and are eager to tackle new challenges.
