## About the Role

* Manage cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OpenShift: standing them up, keeping them healthy, debugging them when they're not.

What We're Seeking For

 * Comfortable with the Docker ecosystem, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and IaC tools
 * Willingness to travel, mostly in California

Bonus Points For
