• Deep fluency with AWS, Azure, GCP, or equivalent cloud platforms operating at scale.
• Production-grade Kubernetes and container orchestration experience in live systems.

• Govern Kubernetes, container runtimes, and infrastructure-as-code tooling to enforce repeatability across deployments.
• Drive CI/CD, networking, identity, observability, and security controls against target-environment constraints and threat models.
• Implement the technical controls and documentation required for EAL, FedRAMP, GovRAMP, NATO, UK MOD, or equivalent customer accreditation regimes.
• Translate engineering tooling requirements into platform specifications, ensuring CI/CD, containerization, and accreditation workflows meet time-sensitive delivery windows.
• Work with platform and engineering leads to resolve conflicts between automation, hardening, and operational constraints.
