• DevOps Solution Architect background: hands‑on or architectural depth in CI/CD pipelines, GitOps, container platforms (Kubernetes/EKS), IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation), and observability tooling.
• Infrastructure expertise: strong foundation in cloud and platform infrastructure — networking, identity, security, scalability, and reliability engineering at enterprise scale.
• AWS credentials: active AWS certification — minimum AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional or equivalent in Azure or GCP.
• Demonstrated ability to lead multi‑million‑dollar account portfolios and complex pursuits.
• Excellent executive communication, commercial acumen, and consultative selling skills.
