• Define frameworks that align with enterprise priorities.
• Help embed governance into team workflows without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.

Domain Expertise

• Apply knowledge of enterprise technology, cloud, security, or compliance to support delivery.
• Ensure policies and controls align with industry standards and best practice.
• Influence adoption across engineering and business teams.

What We''re Looking For:

• Cloud Engineering: AWS (essential), plus understanding of multi-cloud environments
• Skills in Terraform, Python, and CI/CD tooling.
• Security as Code / DevSecOps: Experience embedding security into engineering pipelines.
• Governance & Strategy: Designing frameworks and governance models for enterprise technology.
