• Implement sophisticated tagging strategies and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure 100% of cloud resources are accurately mapped to business units and products.

• Build and Operate agentic AI solutions to analyze efficiency and utilization data, provide insights and drive optimization strategies.

• Write high-quality software solutions, including automation scripts and custom tooling, to proactively identify and eliminate cloud waste and process inefficiencies.

• Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to other team members.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools and practices.

• Experience with container orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), Networking and service meshes (e.g. Istio).

• Experience with workflows (e.g. Temporal, Apache Airflow, Cadence).
