• Strong understanding of cloud services, networking, IAM, storage, monitoring, logging, observability, containers, virtualization, and platform operations.
• Knowledge of CI/CD, build-test-deploy workflows, release management, branching strategies, pipeline orchestration, artifact management, and Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Understanding of DevSecOps, secure software delivery, SAST, DAST, SCA, RBAC, vulnerability management, and compliance requirements.
• Experience supporting developer platforms, DevOps toolchains, automation, and engineering enablement services.
• Own DevOps platform product execution by refining the backlog, translating technical needs into clear deliverables, and prioritizing work based on business value, technical priorities, and stakeholder needs.
• Track roadmap progress, commitments, risks, dependencies, decisions, and action items while driving continuous improvement across processes, tooling, documentation, automation, and user experience.
• Maintain Jira, Confluence, and related documentation for platform capabilities, requirements, workflows, and operating processes, and produce leadership‑ready status updates, dashboards, and reports.
• Experience as a Product Owner, Technical Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar role supporting DevOps, cloud, infrastructure, or platform engineering teams.
• Strong Agile, Scrum, product management, stakeholder management, analytical, organizational, problem‑solving, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical complexity into business outcomes.

What Could Set You Apart

• Experience with enterprise DevOps platforms, cloud providers, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, developer productivity, platform engineering, SRE, cloud operations, or security‑focused delivery.
