• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Advanced competency in Terraform or Ansible to facilitate the deployment of immutable infrastructure and ensure environment consistency.
• Cloud Architecture & Security: Extensive experience with AWS (EKS) or Azure (AKS), focusing on Fin Ops (cloud cost optimization) and robust Identity Access Management (IAM) protocols.
• Regulatory Compliance: Direct experience operating within strictly regulated frameworks, including PCI‑DSS, SOC2, or OSFI standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Zero Trust Security: Architect and implement security protocols following Zero Trust principles to ensure the integrity of all internal and external service communications.

• Automated CI/CD Pipelines: Oversee the lifecycle of continuous integration and deployment pipelines, integrating automated vulnerability scanning (Snyk, Sonar Qube) and testing to ensure secure, rapid delivery.
• Process Automation: Identify and execute opportunities for operational efficiency through advanced scripting and the integration of AI‑enhanced monitoring and diagnostic tools.
