- Secrets Management: Hands-on implementation of enterprise secrets managers (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) for automated secret rotation and dynamic injection.
- GitOps & Modern Continuous Delivery: Deep experience implementing GitOps operational models using tools such as ArgoCD or Flux.
- Full-Stack Observability & Telemetry: Experience deploying end-to-end monitoring, centralized logging, and metrics stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, OpenTelemetry).
### Desired Qualifications
