Infrastructure Experience: Experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering roles, ideally with significant exposure to edge or IoT systems
Hands-on Technical Expertise: Experience with AWS services (Greengrass, IoT Core), containerized deployments (e.g., Docker), and Infrastructure as Code tools like AWS CDK, Terraform, or Kubernetes
Edge & Device Focus: Experience provisioning, securing, and deploying software to edge compute devices (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, etc.) in production environments
Secure Communication & System Design: Understanding of edge-to-cloud messaging protocols like MQTT and encrypted data exchange between devices and cloud systems
Ownership & Initiative: Thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with a strong bias toward action. Capable of driving large infrastructure initiatives with minimal supervision
Collaborative Leadership: Effective at working across disciplines (hardware, embedded, software) and mentoring junior engineers to raise the technical bar
Experience managing OTA updates and rollback strategies in real-world deployments
Familiarity with edge observability and logging tools like Datadog, CloudWatch, or Prometheus
Knowledge of compliance frameworks and security-constrained environments
Background working with high-throughput time series data or multimedia streams
6+ yrs cloud/IoT; deep expertise in distributed systems, OTA, IaC
