• Ensure continuous alignment between business objectives and technical delivery
• Support initiatives to stand up and integrate newly acquired technology environments in AWS and Azure
• Contribute to efforts around containerization, infrastructure modernization, and cloud-native architecture
• Work closely with engineering teams leveraging tools such as Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps platforms (e.g., Azure DevOps, Bitbucket)
• Provide oversight and coordination for environments leveraging technologies like Oracle Autonomous Database

Required Qualifications

• Solid understanding of DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines and version control tools (e.g., Bitbucket)
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform
• Strong technical acumen, including understanding of containerization, cloud architecture, and networking concepts
• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities
• Excellent organizational, communication, and documentation skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting cloud migrations, acquisitions, or platform integrations
• Familiarity with Oracle Autonomous Database or similar cloud-based data platforms
• Experience working in high-availability or operationally complex environments
• Exposure to networking concepts and terminology, with the ability to engage technical teams effectively
• Highly self-directed and autonomous (able to operate independently ~75% of the time)
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to anticipate risks and “look around corners”
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts into business context
• Inquisitive mindset with a desire to deeply understand systems, processes, and dependencies
• Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
