• Advanced understanding of Windows/Linux OS, Active Directory/LDAP, and networking (firewalls, routing, VLANs).
• Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, OpenShift) and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins).
• Familiarity with DevOps toolchains, monitoring platforms (e.g., ELK, DataDog, Splunk), and source control (Git, Bitbucket).
• Working knowledge of security protocols, identity and access management (e.g., OIDC, OAuth2, Keycloak).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in agile, squad-based environments.
