  • Proficiency in scripting/automation using Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes/container orchestration.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools and practices, including GitHub Actions.
  • Strong understanding of cloud security, networking (subnetting, routing, load balancing, VPNs), and compliance principles.
  • Ability to diagnose and resolve complex cloud infrastructure and deployment issues.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills in a cross-functional environment.

Additional Qualifications:
  • Experience in SAFe/Agile Software Development.
  • Prior government/federal experience
  • Ability to obtain a government clearance.
  • Must possess one or more of the following certifications (or an equivalent):
