WHO YOU ARE
You're a seasoned DevOps engineer who thrives as the infrastructure backbone for diverse development teams. You've successfully managed complex, multi-technology environments where Java applications, Python microservices, mobile apps, and serverless functions all need to coexist reliably. You understand that being the sole DevOps engineer means you're not just implementing—you're the strategic infrastructure leader who enables an 11-person development team to ship confidently.
This role requires you to be both architect and implementer.You're someone who can design Terraform modules for Java applications in the morning, troubleshoot Kubernetes deployments for Python services at lunch, and optimize Lambda functions for mobile backends in the afternoon. You bring a systematic approach to infrastructure, knowing that consistency and automation are essential when you're the single point of expertise across multiple technology stacks.
