• Ability to integrate and optimize Perforce within CI/CD pipelines

• Advanced Python skills for automation and tooling

• Experience operating hybrid infrastructures (on-prem + cloud)

• Ability to design scalable AWS-based infrastructure, including auto-scaling strategies and cost optimization in production environments

Who you are
