Required Qualifications:

8+ years in cloud engineering, platform engineering, or infrastructure roles
Strong hands-on experience designing and building in AWS (multi-account environments preferred)

Strong understanding of networking, identity, and security implementation
Experience implementing solutions in regulated or compliance-driven environments (CMMC, NIST, etc.)
Experience building and integrating CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure
Strong scripting or programming skills (Python, Bash, or similar)
Proven ability to take solutions from design through implementation and operation

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in hybrid environments (on-prem + cloud)
Familiarity with DevOps and platform engineering operating models
Experience implementing zero trust or modern security architectures
Experience integrating infrastructure platforms with enterprise systems (e.g., identity providers, ITSM, monitoring)
Exposure to container platforms and Kubernetes

Core Competencies

Systems thinking and platform design mindset
Ability to balance long-term architecture with practical delivery
Strong written and verbal executive communication
Player-coach mentality: willing to design and build
