  • Demonstrated ability to design and implement automation solutions with Python and Ansible, including practical experience integrating into CI/CD workflows.
  • Deep, hands-on understanding of Linux environments, with advanced command-line expertise and system-level networking knowledge.
  • Broad knowledge of infrastructure ecosystems, including storage virtualization and cloud computing (private and public).
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and accessibly to stakeholders at all levels, including executives.
  • Proactivity in identifying risks and dependencies, raising governance or prioritization concerns, and contributing to operational clarity and strategic decisions.
