• Automate compliance, security and secrets management (GCP IAM, Secret Manager, HashiCorp Vault, vulnerability scanning).

• Troubleshoot production incidents and lead post-incident reviews; improve reliability via SRE practices and runbooks.

• Coach teams on GitOps and CI/CD best practices; write docs and platform runbooks; onboard projects onto Harness and IaC modules.

• Collaborate with security and compliance teams to ensure deployments meet governance and audit requirements.

• Practical experience building/deploying pipelines in Harness (creating pipelines/workflows, connectors, secrets, delegates, triggers, and Harness’ progressive delivery features).

• Strong Terraform skills for provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure; modular, testable modules.

• Kubernetes experience: manifest authoring, Helm/Kustomize, cluster troubleshooting, deployments, RBAC and networking.

• Solid Linux, Docker/containerization, and Git skills.

• Experience with CI/CD concepts: build agents, artifact promotion, canary/blue-green, rollback strategies.

• Familiarity with CI tools (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab) and container registries.

• Strong scripting skills (Powershell) for automation tasks.

• Good communication and cross-functional teamwork skills; ability to write clear runbooks and documentation.
