## About the Role

* 6+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, or DevOps, including ownership of something in production that others depended on.
 * Hands-on AWS - IAM, ECS or Lambda, CloudWatch, and working VPC knowledge. Required, not a bonus.
 * Full-stack range - backend services, APIs, CI/CD, containerized deployments.
 * Builder, not just integrator - you can write an MCP server or API integration from scratch, not just wire up a managed connector.
 * Hands-on with LLMs - comfortable with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agent development; you've shipped something with them.
 * Self-direction - you can take an underspecified task and figure out the parts nobody wrote down.
