  • Experience with infrastructure as code and enterprise deployment tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, or similar approaches.
  • Working knowledge of large language models, agentic patterns, tool orchestration, and the practical limits of AI systems in production.
  • A track record of creating reusable technical assets that outlive a single engagement.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical design and architecture guidance.
  • Comfort leading conversations with senior stakeholders across security, compliance, engineering, platform, and business teams in ambiguous enterprise environments.
