We are seeking a well-rounded professional who brings an equal balance of vendor management expertise (50%) and hands-on technical skills (50%).

• Drive and lead technical discussions, design reviews, and working sessions
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures and deployment issues across environments

Qualifications:

• Strong (about 10+ years of experience) hands-on experience with Linux and shell scripting
