• Proficiency in one or more programming languages, with experience writing automation scripts and platform tooling

• Ability to analyze current-state infrastructure and make well-reasoned recommendations for future-state architecture aligned to resiliency and security expectations

• Ability to understand the needs of the customer and reflect those needs through infrastructure design, providing clear feedback to leaders

• Demonstrated experience applying enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within engineering workflows, with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity

• Ability to assess and validate AI-assisted infrastructure recommendations before adoption, escalating uncertainty and ensuring outcomes align to resiliency, security, and auditability expectations

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering and non-technical audiences

• Experience working directly with internal or external customers in a technical advisory or support capacity

• Practical cloud-native experience across modern platform delivery environments
