What You Will Need: Must-Haves (Technical Competencies), + Mental Demands: Requires strong analytical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and high emotional intelligence to articulate complex technical ideas to diverse stakeholders. Must be capable of managing competing priorities, navigating bureaucratic compliance gates in an Agile DevSecOps environment, and maintaining high technical rigor during mission-critical deployment cycles. + Physical Demands: Standard office environment requiring extended periods of sitting, working on a computer, and communicating via digital tools or in-person meetings.
