- Driving platform reliability, incident response improvements, and operational excellence.
- Supporting governance, compliance, and security initiatives within a regulated environment.
- Producing technical documentation, architecture standards, and operational runbooks.

- DevSecOps tooling including secrets management, dependency scanning, and policy‑as‑code.
- Experience supporting enterprise Microsoft platforms including Dynamics 365 Sales, Dataverse, and Power Platform ALM.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering, security, IT, and business stakeholders.
Desirable Experience
Experience with any of the following would be a significant advantage:
