Expertise in infrastructure security, zero trust models, and IAM best practices. Hands-on experience with DevSecOps: security scanning, SBOM generation, secrets management, and policy-as-code. Solid understanding of cloud networking: VPC design, VPN, and firewall configuration. Experience with hybrid or on-prem deployments alongside cloud environments. Skilled in Linux administration, scripting, and automation for operational efficiency. Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools (Azure Monitor, Grafana, Prometheus). Experience building and managing infrastructure for LLM or AI workloads (vLLM, KServe).

Nice - to - have:

+ Cloud and security certifications (e.g., CKA/CKAD, Terraform Associate, CISSP). + Experience with GitOps workflows (Argo CD, Flux) and CI/CD security pipelines.
+ Knowledge of policy frameworks (OPA, Gatekeeper, Kyverno) and workload identity systems (SPIFFE/SPIRE).
+ Familiarity with GPU/accelerator-based infrastructure for ML/LLM workloads.
+ Background in SRE practices, including SLO/SLI design and incident response.
+ Contributions to open-source cloud, DevSecOps, or LLM infrastructure projects.
