Design and Implement DevOps Pipelines: 

Lead the design, implementation, and continuous optimization of CI/CD pipelines using tools like Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or cloud-native solutions (GCP, AWS or Azure experience) to automate the software development and deployment lifecycle. 

Security Integration and Compliance: 

Seamlessly integrate security tools and practices into the DevOps pipeline, ensuring continuous security testing, vulnerability scanning, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2). Utilize cloud-native security tools such as Google Cloud Security Command Center, AWS GuardDuty, or Azure Sentinel for proactive threat detection and incident response.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Security as Code (SaC): 

Implement and manage infrastructure using IaC tools like Terraform (preferred), CloudFormation (AWS), or ARM (Azure), with a strong focus on automating security controls and ensuring compliance throughout the development lifecycle. 

Monitoring, Logging, and Performance Optimization: 

Implement and manage monitoring and logging solutions using tools such as Google Cloud Operations Suite (preferred), AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or third-party platforms like Prometheus and Grafana to maintain high availability, performance, and security. 

Containerization and Orchestration: 

Design, deploy, and manage containerized applications using Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes or managed Kubernetes services like Google Kubernetes Engine (preferred), Amazon EKS, or Azure AKS. Ensure scalability, availability, and security of microservices architectures.

Extensive hands-on experience of designing and implementation with at least one cloud provider—GCP, AWS, or Azure—including cloud services like Kubernetes, serverless functions, and managed databases. 

DevOps Tools and Automation: 

Strong proficiency in using CI/CD pipeline tools such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or cloud-native tools (GCP Cloud Build, AWS CodePipeline) for automating build, test, and deployment processes. 

Security Tools and Practices: 

Proficient in cloud-native security tools such as Google Cloud Security Command Center, AWS Security Hub, or Azure Security Center, with experience integrating security into the development pipeline and enforcing security best practices. 

Infrastructure and Security as Code (IaC): 

Experience with infrastructure provisioning and configuration using tools like Terraform (preferred), AWS CloudFormation, or Azure ARM templates, with a focus on automating security and compliance. 

Monitoring and Logging Solutions: 

Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools like Google Cloud Operations Suite, AWS CloudWatch, or Azure Monitor, as well as third-party tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack. 

Containerization and Kubernetes: 

In-depth experience with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE preferred, but EKS or AKS is acceptable) for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. 

Mentorship and Leadership: 

Whole leadership: The ability to lead yourself and others to make a difference and create a positive impact in a responsible, authentic, resilient, inclusive and passionate manner. 

Global acumen: The ability to operate and collaborate effectively with a mindset that transcends boundaries and embraces diverse perspectives.
