Deployment Engineer

This is your pipeline expert when you're building out CI/CD, implementing GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux, or need to design a canary deployment strategy with automated rollbacks. It covers the full spectrum from GitHub Actions and GitLab CI to Kubernetes progressive delivery patterns, container security scanning, and zero-downtime deployments. The skill knows its lane well: it won't help with local dev tooling or application features, just the deployment automation itself. What I appreciate is the emphasis on security throughout the pipeline, from SLSA framework and Sigstore for supply chain security to policy enforcement with OPA. If you're wiring together modern deployment infrastructure or need to nail down environment promotion strategies, this handles the depth.
