• Expert level understanding of Git and collaborative workflows, such as branching strategies and code review best practices.

• Proven track record of transitioning legacy/manual operations environments to automated, IaC‑driven approaches.
• Experience with containerization in the context of Docker or Kubernetes, and how container orchestration is used in modern systems.
• Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation.
• Familiarity with Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana and other monitoring tools.
• Experience operating and querying Open search/Elasticsearch.

• A strong desire to solve complex problems, the resilience to work through significant technical debt, and enthusiasm for driving cultural and technical change.
• A desire to work in enterprise and government‑focused computing environments with robust security and reliability requirements.
• MS/BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field of study (or equivalent experience).
• Must meet all personnel screening requirements as specified by applicable federal contracts or agency regulations, which may include US citizenship.
