  • Build and improve CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
  • Plan and execute PostgreSQL & DynamoDB migrations
  • Improve security, reliability, cost awareness, and developer experience
  • Evaluate platforms and guide architectural decisions


What you bring

  • 3+ years DevOps / Platform experience
  • Strong AWS (ECS, Fargate, Lambda, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch)
  • Solid IaC, Docker, and CI/CD experience
  • Experience migrating infrastructure and data
  • Clear communicator who asks the right discovery questions


Nice to have: Terraform, Kubernetes, SRE, DataDog/Grafana, FinOps.


Join to lead DevOps strategy and build reliable infrastructure with real climate impact.
