• Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog, CloudWatch, 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.
