  • Hands-on experience with Terraform and Terraform Cloud
  • Experience implementing GitOps using Flux, ArgoCD, or similar technologies
  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Harness, Jenkins, or comparable platforms
  • Experience working across multiple cloud providers including Azure, AWS, and GCP
  • Proficiency with Python, Go, or Bash for automation
