Some observations of candidates in interviews that took place where it was not a fit:

Basic understanding of platform, security, and cloud infrastructure, including network controls, encryption, IAM, and audit logging.

Best fit appears to be data engineering leaning with some platform exposure, but lighter on AWS/cloud infrastructure.

Very limited platform/security/cloud infrastructure experience.

Overall profile is data engineering leaning with some UC architecture exposure, but AWS experience is light/dated and Terraform experience appears limited.
