  • Team and Vendor Leadership

  • Lead and mentor a team of system engineers, cloud administrators, and IT operations specialists

  • Proven experience building and supporting CI / CD environments in hybrid or multi-cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Strong technical background in Linux / Windows systems, networking, cloud platforms, and automation frameworks
  • Hands-on understanding of infrastructure-as-code, container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker), monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana), and DevOps toolchains (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD)
  • Demonstrated success leading cross-functional technical teams in fast-paced engineering or SaaS environments
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills; able to translate technical issues into business outcomes
  • Preferred Experience :
