• Familiarity with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• In-depth knowledge of Docker, Git, and CI/CD Pipelines (Azure DevOps).
• Experience with infrastructure as a code (e.g., Terraform), application logging and monitoring (e.g., ELK Stack, Prometheus), key-value stores (e.g., Redis), load balancing and reverse-proxy (e.g., Nginx), token-based authentication and authorization (OAuth 2.0), cloud infrastructure (e.g., Microsoft Azure).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team.
• Proven ability to manage time effectively and deliver high-quality work on schedule.
• Demonstrated ability to work smart and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications:
