- Cloud-savvy, with knowledge of platforms like Azure & AWS.
- Familiarity with microservices, APIs, and containerization tools like Kubernetes or Docker.
- A strong grasp of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and automation.

- Team Player: You thrive in collaborative environments, sharing knowledge and building others up.
- Communicator: You can explain tech stuff to non-tech people and get everyone on the same page.
