  • Experience with SaaS and cloud-native architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with IaC tools (Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation).
  • Bonus : Exposure to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and executive stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage multiple technical evaluations in parallel.
  • Willingness to travel for client meetings and industry events.
  • Why is it exciting being a Zester-

    At Zesty, we’re a team of driven, forward‑thinkers passionate about pushing the boundaries of cloud optimization. Our culture encourages creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to embrace challenges.

    We care about :

  • Diversity & Inclusion - Be yourself! We welcome employees from all backgrounds and have created a workplace where everyone can feel empowered.
  • Transparency - Transparency : We share our success stories, failures, processes, numbers, and everything in between. If you want to know something that wasn't shared with you – just ask!
  • One Team - We genuinely trust each other which enables us to act as one team working together toward the same mission. All team members are equally important.
  • Open Communication & Feedback - When facing challenges, we always look for fresh ideas and ways to overcome them and we embrace constructive feedback that can and should be given to anyone.
  • Ego is out at the door - Ego obscures and disrupts everything : the planning process, the ability to take good advice, and the ability to accept constructive feedback. We operate with a high degree of humility.
