• Proficiency with Git and at least one CI/CD platform: GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins.
• Scripting skills in Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Ability to work effectively with development and operations teams.
• Ability to obtain and maintain the background investigation required by the federal customer.
