· Containers and orchestration (Docker, EKS​/​ECS); understanding of progressive delivery.

· Proficiency in TypeScript for automation.

· Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.

· AWS certification preferred (e.g., AWS DevOps Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect).

Preferred qualifications

· GitOps (Argo CD​/​Flux) and service mesh fundamentals; APM​/​RUM (Dynatrace​/​New Relic).

· Operating Kafka and MongoDB in production; experience with microservices & distributed systems.

· Experience in regulated environments (financial services), with audit and control practices.

· PagerDuty administration and on-call program exposure; cost governance​/​FinOps familiarity.
