Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone with a strong IT administration background who also has hands-on DevOps knowledge.

The ideal candidate is comfortable managing Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Intune while supporting AWS infrastructure, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and automation.

This is not a pure DevOps position. The successful candidate must be equally comfortable providing internal IT support, managing devices and user accounts, and contributing to cloud and automation projects.
