Important Clarification
This is not a DevOps Engineer position. This is primarily a Software Engineering role focused on making enterprise applications cloud-ready and supporting cloud migration efforts. The engineer will work alongside Platform Engineering and DevOps teams but will focus on application-level development, configurations, integrations, and modernization activities.
