About you
You are knowledgable in software engineering best practices (including the GitOps model, DevOps, Clean Code), automating platform deployments, and programming to industry standards. You are comfortable pair-programming and guiding other members of your team in building robust solutions.

You deploy both application and infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code principles (using Terraform) via CI/CD pipelines and are confident in a major pipeline tools (AWS CodePipeline/Azure Devops/Concourse/Jenkins).
You come from a strong networking background and understand both on-premises and cloud concepts. You are are well-versed in the essentials (CIDRs, subnetting, standard protocols e.g. TCP/UDP, firewalls, routing, loadbalancing, DNS etc) and can articulate these concepts to newer members of the team.
You are adept with the Linux operating system and are at ease interacting with the platform via CLI rather than using GUIs.
