• Participate in stand‑ups, sprint planning, technical reviews, peer reviews, and documentation updates.

• Five years of experience in DevSecOps, infrastructure automation, or CI/CD pipeline engineering.
• Hands‑on experience with Terraform and OpenTofu, including modules, remote state, and workspace management.
• Proficiency with Ansible, including playbooks, roles, inventories, and secrets handling.
• Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining GitHub Actions workflows.

• Familiarity with NIST SP 800‑53, FISMA, and FedRAMP compliance requirements.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform experience.
• Experience with secrets management tools such as HashiCorp Vault, plus Python and Bash scripting.
