• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. CloudFormation)
• Good grasp of infrastructure security and governance (e.g. AWS Config, Security Hub)
• Familiarity with cost optimisation, drift remediation, and secure automation
• Proficiency with Linux systems, scripting (Bash, Python/Boto3), and Git
