Note:

Ideally we are looking for someone with enough experience for the role, but also young enough to be

interested in new tech and stay up to date. We have two stacks as you will see in the attached

diagrams, so ideally, they would have a general knowledge of each. Im really looking for someone

senior for this role who knows their way around AWS and can help maintain costs. Also someone

committed to the project who would be available in an emergency if required, possibly even after

hours.

Best case, were hoping to launch the new app late May, and will require all production services to be

migrated to AWS. Ive attached diagrams for our current and anticipated future setup.
