• Infrastructure-as-code experience (Pulumi preferred), maintaining fully automated CI/CD deployment pipelines
• System administration and infrastructure management capabilities
• Familiarity with modern security best practices, common vulnerabilities, and securing distributed environments
• Ability to differentiate when a production-grade service is necessary versus implementing a one-time or temporary solution

• A strong opinion on emacs vs vim
