• Experience with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
• Strong understanding of Git workflows, branching strategies, and code review practices.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex automation and infrastructure issues across hybrid environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Chef Habitat or application-level automation.
• Experience with Chef Automate for compliance, reporting, and fleet orchestration.
• Familiarity with Terraform or other IaC tools for provisioning infrastructure.
• Experience with policyascode tools (OPA, Conftest, Sentinel).
