• Build reproducible infrastructure using Infrastructure‑as‑Code and configuration management tools including SaltStack, Ansible, Terraform, Packer.
• Develop automation scripts and utilities (e.g., Bash/Python) to integrate commercial/open‑source tools and streamline development workflows.
• Instrument systems for observability (logs, metrics, traces) and implement guardrails for security, compliance, and reliability.
• Partner with cross‑functional stakeholders (Software, Systems, Cybersecurity, Firmware, ML, Integration and Test) to translate requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions.
