• Lead infrastructure releases across multi‑stage environments

What we are looking for:

• 5+ years experience in DevOps or infrastructure engineering
• Expert‑level knowledge of Kubernetes (K8s) and Rancher in production
• Proven track record building CI/CD pipelines with tools like Jenkins, Bitbucket CI, or AWS DevOps
• Strong scripting skills and source control (Git) knowledge
• Hands‑on experience with IaC (Terraform, Ansible)
• Familiarity with .NET and Flutter deployment workflows
• Experience in a DevSecOps environment integrating security into every phase of delivery

This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly autonomous, high‑impact position with a global security innovator. You will help power platforms that safeguard identity, access, and trust, every second of every day.
