• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
• Practical experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD principles and experience with relevant tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Google Cloud Build).
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, communication, and teamwork skills.
• A demonstrated track record of professional growth and a commitment to continuous learning.
• One or more cloud certifications, such as Google Professional Cloud Architect, Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer, AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, or Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate.

Nice to Have:
