- Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog, Cloud Watch, New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar platforms is highly desired.
- Familiarity with container technologies including Docker and Kubernetes is a plus, although ECS/Fargate experience is most relevant.
- Experience implementing automated security testing practices including SAST, DAST, Software Composition Analysis (SCA), container scanning, and Infrastructure-as-Code scanning.
- Relevant certifications are preferred but not required, including AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified Dev Ops Engineer, AWS Security Specialty, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Terraform Associate, or similar credentials.
