• Architect and maintain CI/CD and GitOps deployment workflows for infrastructure and platform services.

• Collaborate with automation engineering teams to integrate controls, deployment pipelines, and operational guardrails.

• Lead containerization strategy for platform services, including image lifecycle, vulnerability management, and runtime hardening.

• Establish monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response practices for cloud and edge environments.

• Create reusable reference architectures, templates, and operational runbooks for global adoption.

• Support regional teams with technical guidance, design reviews, and production readiness assessments.

• Contribute to long-term platform evolution, including multi-cloud readiness and future architecture expansion.

The Essentials - You Will Have:

• Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent Years of Relevant Work Experience

• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.

The Preferred - You Might Also Have:

• Strong expertise in Azure (AWS/GCP experience a plus).

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and enterprise-scale orchestration.

• Experience with hybrid edge-to-cloud architectures and connectivity.

• Knowledge of zero-trust security, IAM/RBAC, secrets management, and policy governance.

• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep) and CI/CD/GitOps practices.

• Strong troubleshooting skills across networking, platforms, and application environments.

• Experience with service mesh, API gateways, observability, and centralized logging.

• Familiarity with industrial, manufacturing, or operational technology environments.
