  • Experience with GitOps-based workflows and tools such as ArgoCD or similar.
  • Solid hands-on experience with AWS and/or GCP and their core networking, compute, storage, and identity services.
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, ideally with GitHub Actions.
  • Good understanding of cloud networking and identity, including zero-trust concepts and workload identity.
  • Ability to automate operational tasks using Python/Go.
  • Proven experience architecting on-premises infrastructure and managing Kubernetes on bare metal.
  • Hands-on expertise in hybrid release management and artifact distribution for restricted environments. 
Professional skills 
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional, distributed teams.
  • Comfortable owning complex systems end to end and making decisions in production environments.
  • A proactive, automation-first mindset with a focus on operational excellence.
  • Willingness to mentor others and contribute to shared standards and documentation.
