• Strong automation skills for IT operations, from onboarding to monitoring and incident response
• Excellent business acumen, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and manage budgets effectively
• Startup mentality: comfortable with ambiguity, hands-on implementation, and fast-paced decision-making
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and strategic thinking abilities
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM) are a strong plus

Benefits
