• Proficiency in Python and enterprise version-control practices, including testing, CI/CD, and observability.


• Knowledge of network automation interfaces, ITSM workflows, and telemetry.


• Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with architects, operations, Cybersecurity, data/AI teams, and suppliers. Fluent English written and spoken mandatory.
