Overview

Woolspring needs another Cloud Engineer to design, build and support our AWS and Azure environments. The Cloud Centre of Excellence team manages landing zones, networking and identity for every application team in the company. Our headquarters is in Houston, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Ukraine, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.
