Support onboarding and enablement for engineering teams adopting TCR across AVEVA.
Collaborate closely with Product Security to deliver roadmap features and ensure secure and compliant container operations.
Contribute to registry auditability, usage reporting, and compliance initiatives (including emerging open-source escrow requirements).
Required Skills
Hands-on experience with containers, registries, and OCI image workflows.
Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automation (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
Experience with Kubernetes, Helm charts, or cloud-native infrastructure such as Azure, AWS or Google Cloud.
Experience with container security tools (scanning, signing, SBOMs, vulnerability detection).
Solid Linux systems engineering and debugging skills.
Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, PowerShell, Bash, Go, etc.).
Experience working in DevOps, platform engineering, or internal developer platform environments.
Working experience with object- oriented programming languages such as C# and .NET.
Desired Skills
Experience with Cosign, Sigstore, or container signing frameworks.
