  • Experience in supporting, administering, and building cloud infrastructure, preferably in Azure.
  • Familiarity with configuring continuous integration tools, such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.
  • Proven experience in operating and administering Linux distributions, including RHEL, Ubuntu, and CentOS.
  • Understanding of containerization and container orchestration technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Strong operational and technical troubleshooting skills.
Preferred Skills
  • Understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and tools such as JIRA, Git, GitHub, and Nexus.
  • Good grasp of architecture and design principles.
  • Familiarity with common Application Security Tooling (SCA/SAST/DAST/IaC Security).
  • Knowledge of security frameworks like OWASP Top 10, Mitre Top 25, and CVSS, with the ability to map them to business risks.
