• Virtualization & Container Platforms Strong working knowledge of VMware vSphere / ESXi and containerized environments. Experience with Kubernetes (including Tanzu / TKG) and an understanding of how container platforms are secured and operated in enterprise environments.
• Hybrid Infrastructure & Automation Experience working with hybrid infrastructures and infrastructure-as-code or automation tooling (e.g. Terraform CLI), with a focus on consistency, scalability, and risk reduction.
