- Collaborate with cloud architects to ensure stable and secure integrations with cloud-based platforms, primarily Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Automate routine identity lifecycle management tasks using advanced scripting and serverless computing techniques.
- Participate in the design and implementation of directory service solutions across large-scale enterprise environments.

- Proven experience in SQL Server administration specifically tailored to supporting high-availability identity management databases.
- Strong coding and scripting proficiency using .NET, PowerShell, and VBScript for automation and customization.

- Advanced scripting capabilities in YAML, Python, or other modern automation languages.
- Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Splunk (querying and dashboards) and New Relic.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps methodologies, Git version control, and agile project management tools like Jira and Confluence.
- Experience with Radiant Logic and ServiceNow integration is a significant plus.
