  • Use daily AI coding assistants such as Cursor or Claude Code with careful review of code and IaC
  • Work from real GitHub Enterprise repos without inventing paths or cloud facts
  • Apply IaC change control through plan, dual approve/sign, and apply via the org-approved Terraform CLI workflow, avoiding freestyle apply
  • Maintain the deploy path through GitHub Actions reusable workflows, self-hosted runners, and IRSA as the primary model
  • Provide clear English communication for handoffs

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience with Go, including CLI and HTTP service development, multi-step waves, concurrency, idempotent flows, and evidence/smoke outputs
  • Expertise in Terraform via approved CLI workflow, Terragrunt-style IAM/bootstrap, and kOps

  • Background in multi-tenant SaaS install environments
