• Strong programming foundations in Python, Go, Java, or a similar language.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Familiarity with containerization tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with automation or infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform is a plus.
• Interest in LLM-enabled coding tools, model APIs, or inference systems.
• Linux, networking, identity, or security fundamentals are a plus.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Organized, collaborative, and eager to learn.
What you'll learn in this role:
• Hands-on experience with production cloud infrastructure and automation
