  • Active team participation and an inquisitive mind passionate about delivering creative solutions and working collaboratively

Preferred

  • Scripting/automation knowledge (e.g., Python, PowerShell) and infrastructure‑as‑code (e.g., Terraform) for policy and pipeline automation.
  • Exposure to service identity frameworks (e.g., SPIFFE/SPIRE) and workload identity patterns.
