• Strong collaboration, communication, and documentation skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience designing and maintaining automated deployment pipelines and release processes for cloud-based applications.
• Practical knowledge of Infrastructure as Code, ideally using Terraform, to manage and standardize cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with GitHub administration and development workflow controls, including branching strategies, pull requests, security alerts, dependency management, and repository health practices.
• Experience administering web delivery and edge platform services such as Cloudflare, including DNS, caching, redirect rules, and security/firewall policies.
• Strong understanding of observability, operational readiness, monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices for digital platforms.
• Ability to perform light programming, scripting, and automation work in support of platform engineering and development teams.
• Working knowledge of Azure-based environments and DevOps practices, with the ability to support teams operating within a multi-cloud delivery model.
