Write reference answers with the architectural reasoning behind each decision.

Grade model output for correctness, security, and cost efficiency.

2 or more years of professional cloud engineering experience on AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Hands-on infrastructure as code experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar.

Depth in at least one area such as networking, containers, serverless, or cost optimization.

Clear written English for documenting architecture and operational reasoning.

Able to commit at least 10 hours per week.

Preferred qualifications:

Certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator, or GCP Professional.

Kubernetes and container orchestration experience.

Multi-cloud or large-scale migration experience.

Competitive compensation of $100 to $120 per hour based on your experience.

Fully remote and asynchronous, on your own schedule.
