• Strong technical background in cloud-native systems, distributed architectures, and security-critical platforms.

• Experience managing parallel systems and executing controlled migrations without client disruption.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to bridge technical detail with business strategy.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, regulated environment with high accountability.

Bonus:
