• Experience working with AWS SageMaker or a comparable enterprise ML/Data Science platform.
• Comfortable scripting and automating with Python, shell, or similar.
• Practical experience with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong troubleshooting chops — root cause analysis and building fixes that actually stick.
• Background securing cloud environments (IAM, access controls, vulnerability remediation).
• Experience with monitoring/observability tools and performance tuning.
• Some exposure to cloud cost optimization or FinOps practices.
• Can build automation that cuts down manual, repetitive operational work.
• Comfortable writing clear documentation and collaborating across teams (security, DevOps, app teams, vendors).

Desired Skillset

• Domino Data Lab or similar enterprise ML platform experience.
• Python based Data Science/ML workload experience.
• GitLab pipeline experience.
• Experience with AWS cost management/FinOps.
• Background in platform migrations or system decommissioning.
• SAS experience (helpful for legacy system closeout, not required).
