- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation).
- Solid understanding of TCP/IP, BGP, IPSec, TLS, and network encryption mechanisms.
- Experience working in regulated and compliance-driven environments.
Preferred Qualifications - Cloud certifications (AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, CCSP).
