Enable smooth operation for non-technical project leadership
Support secure integration with key datasets (EAS, GRIP, GRIP+)

Platform Objectives You’ll Support

Full automation of document processing and user onboarding
Secure, direct document uploads (no external hosting dependencies)
System admin capability for enterprise user management
Improved chat interface and support for concurrent users
Progression toward full security accreditation
Expansion of SCOUT usage across assurance and review teams

Nice to Have (Time Permitting)

Experience with data analysis across multiple datasets
Familiarity with report generation or structured document outputs
Interest in collaborative tooling and knowledge sharing features

Requirements

Strong AWS experience in production environments
Hands-on Terraform experience
