- Proficiency in scripting languages - Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
- Solid understanding of version control workflows using Git.
- Working knowledge of monitoring and logging tools (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK Stack, or Azure Monitor).
Nice to Have:
- Certification in Azure (e.g., AZ-400: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert) or other cloud platforms

- Strong problem-solving ability and quickly identifying and resolving system bottlenecks or failures
- Clear communication skills to explain technical issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Team-oriented mindset that fosters collaboration between development and operations
Why This Role?:
- Work on real-world, production-grade systems with modern cloud-native technologies
