• Design and implement DevOps solutions using a modern toolset.
• Use metrics and data to drive communication, platform decisions, and architecture strategy.

• Experience using AI coding tools to improve ops automation without compromising security or reliability.
• Experience with Linux, shell scripting, and a general-purpose scripting language.

• Solid understanding of security-first design and security principles.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States and located in the US by start date (excluding MT, HI, AK, and DC).
