- Deep understanding of AWS and Alibaba Cloud core service APIs, cloud-native technologies (Serverless, K8s Operator), and DevOps toolchains (Ansible, Prometheus).
- Skilled in automated testing frameworks to ensure platform stability.
- Experience Requirements
- 5+ years in DevOps/operations development, with proven experience in designing and deploying enterprise-level automation platforms (e.g., CMDB, operations middleware).
