- Build and maintain backend services in Go.
- Work with drone and embedded engineers to test the system in real field conditions.
Full Stack Cloud Engineer – Main requirements:
- 5+ years of experience building and operating cloud systems, with expert-level AWS knowledge across compute, networking, storage, IAM, containers, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and observability.
