    • Security & Compliance: Maintain a high-security baseline for all platform services, ensuring compliance with SOC 2, PCI-DSS, or CIS Benchmarks where applicable. Conduct regular security audits, manage encryption protocols, and ensure all infrastructure follows the principle of least privilege.

    • Experience in Security practices (SSL/TLS, SSH, encryption, LDAP). Experience in implementing configuration management tools (Chef, Ansible). Design and build experience in orchestration using Cloudbolt / Rundeck.

    • Expertise in building and maintaining code-driven infrastructure using Terraform for provisioning, combined with Python, Shell, and PowerShell for advanced scripting and operational automation.

    • Experience evaluating and integrating AI-driven tools into existing IT infrastructure workflows to optimize operational efficiency and enhance automated processes.

    • Proven ability to lead infrastructure projects from design through deployment.

    • Experience building and managing physical infrastructure in on-prem or hybrid environments. Experience providing technical guidance to external vendors and partners.

    • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Excellent skills in communication, documentation, and mentoring others.
