- Experience working within the Azure ecosystem and understanding of cloud resource management.
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or AWS CDK.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation platforms such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions is a plus.
- Scripting or development experience with Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar technologies.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities, combined with attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
- Ability to communicate clearly with application teams and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Benefits:
