• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code and network automation (e.g., Terraform, Python, Ansible)
• Demonstrated ability to influence without authority, set standards, and drive cross-functional alignment
• Experience designing for compliance-sensitive environments (e.g., HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical tradeoffs for leadership
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Azure, or others Cloud, PCNSE, CCNP/CCIE) is a plus
