Requirements

What you’ll need

Must-Haves: Linux administration: CLI fluency, systemd, package management, log analysis, and troubleshooting of services and networking.
Shell scripting (Bash) for automation and diagnostics.
Working knowledge of core AWS services: EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, and load balancers (ELB/ALB).
Terraform at a working level: you have authored and applied configurations and understand state and the plan/apply cycle.
Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, SSH, firewalls and security groups.
Git: comfortable with the everyday branch/commit/PR workflow.
Sound credential and access hygiene: proper SSH key handling, least-privilege IAM, keeping secrets out of code and repositories, and keeping systems patched.
Cool-to-Haves: Terraform beyond the basics: modules, remote state, multi-environment setups.
Blockchain node experience, whether with Cosmos specifically or another chain.
Docker; Kubernetes exposure is a plus.
Monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
Python for tooling beyond Bash.
CI/CD exposure.
Soft Skills Accountability: you own your work and communicate openly when something goes wrong, focusing on fixing it rather than explaining it away.
Honesty and candor: you speak up for what's good for the team, even when it's not the easiest thing to say.
A self-taught instinct: you're comfortable figuring things out on your own and genuinely enjoy learning, since much of this role is grown into rather than known on day one.
Collaborative team player, self-directed and comfortable working autonomously in remote environments.
