- 10+ years in enterprise technology roles with 6+ years specifically in DevOps or infrastructure architecture.
- Deep expertise in CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).
- Robust background in cloud platform architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and monitoring/observability tooling.
- Experience designing environment and branching strategies for multi-workstream delivery programs.
- Technology-agnostic release management experience comfortable integrating CI/CD with either platform-specific deployment tooling (e.g., Salesforce release tools such as Copado/Gearset) or standard web-application deployment pipelines, depending on final stack selection.
- Hands-on experience directing or prompting AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code or an equivalent agentic development tool) — required, as this engagement uses an agent-orchestrated development model.
- Security-conscious approach to infrastructure design: secrets management, access control, and compliance awareness.
