• Experience with continuous delivery tooling, including Spinnaker (pipeline configuration, deployments, environment promotion, and rollback patterns)
• Hands-on experience with AWS services and cloud security fundamentals (e.g., IAM, networking concepts, monitoring/logging, encryption/secrets patterns)
• Experience in developing, debugging, and maintaining code in a large corporate environment with one or more modern programming languages and database querying languages
• Overall knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle
• Solid understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security
