  • Familiarity with public cloud deployment or operations
  • Familiarity with private cloud management

We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
  • Every 6 months compensation review
