• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Ansible, or low-code platforms such as Itential) for automation and integrations.
• Practical experience applying security operations (RBAC, patching, OS lifecycle, vulnerability remediation).
• Strong troubleshooting skills with ability to document and share solutions.
• Preferred
• Experience migrating services or tools from on-premises to cloud platforms.
