Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline).
Experience with Linux administration, networking concepts, and IAM-based access control.
Strong scripting ability (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
Knowledge of monitoring tools (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).

Desirable Skills:

Experience working in public sector, defence, or other secure environments.
Exposure to containerisation technologies (Docker, ECS, EKS, Kubernetes).
Understanding of Zero Trust, NCSC cloud security guidance, or other government frameworks.
Familiarity with secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault).
Experience with cost optimisation and cloud governance tooling.
