• Experience with infrastructure-as-code, repeatable infrastructure templates, scripting, and automation

• Strong security and access-management judgment, including secrets management, environment controls, and least-privilege patterns
• Strong ownership mindset with a bias toward action, clear follow-through, and practical systems thinking
• Clear written communication and business judgment, especially for runbooks, technical decisions, operational standards, incident follow-up, and connecting infrastructure work to company impact
