• Container security and policy enforcement
• Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar CI/CD platforms

Nice to Have:

• Values infrastructure discipline and operational excellence
• Enjoys working with complex distributed systems
• Passionate about clean code and maintainable architecture
• Positive team player who communicates clearly and collaboratively
• Interested in the civic tech space and democratic institutions
