Hands-on familiarity with DevSecOps tools, CI/CD pipelines, and integrated project management systems (issue tracking, code review workflows, pipeline monitoring)
Deep understanding of defense-specific delivery constraints, including classification, compliance documentation, government review cycles, and stakeholder coordination
Ability to translate broad program goals into detailed, prioritized work items with clear acceptance standards
Excellent communication skills, including delivering concise leadership updates and facilitating productive team discussions
