Requirements

The ideal candidate has deep hands-on experience creating Terraform modules from scratch for AWS services such as networking, storage, load balancing, Route53, ECS, and monitoring. They should be comfortable gathering requirements from internal customers, designing new infrastructure patterns, and delivering those solutions through a Git-based CI/CD pipeline.

The team currently supports AWS and will begin building Terraform modules for Google Cloud Platform, so cloud platform experience beyond AWS is a plus but not required. Python is a nice-to-have skill primarily used for AWS Lambda functions and automation. The interview is architecture and scenario-based rather than coding-focused, so candidates must be able to explain design decisions and recommend AWS solutions based on business requirements.
