• Engage with clients to proficiently extract complex requirements, manage expectations, and effectively communicate technical solutions and value propositions.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment, adapting to changing project requirements, technologies, and timelines, and taking on leadership responsibilities when needed.
• Foster a collaborative environment, communicate complex ideas clearly, and actively mentor and coach team members to achieve collective goals.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in designing, deploying, and managing infrastructure and applications on Azure.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines for mobile applications using Expo EAS and React Native.
• Proven commercial experience with other cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, ARM, or Bicep).
• Hands-on experience with containerisation tools and platforms such as Docker or Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of API integrations and managing secure API endpoints.
