• Strong understanding of cloud-native applications, platforms, security, automation, and DevSecOps across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP
• Experience with scripting and API integration to support and troubleshoot technical solutions
• Demonstrated success driving measurable customer outcomes and leading executive-level engagements
• Strong business acumen and the ability to translate technical capabilities into business impact for both engineers and executives
• Experience managing issues, performing root cause analysis, and driving resolution
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder-management skills
• Background in cybersecurity or DevSecOps is a strong plus

What we look for:

• A strategic, consultative, customer-first mindset with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
• One or more of CKAD / CKA / CKS certifications
• Experience with Linux, Helm, Terraform, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms
• Self-motivated, proactive, and adaptable — comfortable navigating fast-paced, evolving environments
• Strong empathy, patience, and a genuine passion for working with customers
• Curiosity and comfort operating across both technical and business domains
• Coachability and a team-oriented, collaborative, learning-driven attitude
