  • Cloud-Native Transformation: 7+ years of experience in rearchitecting large-scale monolithic applications to cloud-native architectures.
  • Container Orchestration: Strong expertise in Kubernetes (K8S) is required, including hands-on experience with both AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) and EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).
  • Networking: Strong experience with Cloud Networking, with the ability to design and resolve complex cloud networking architecture problems.
  • IaC: Expert knowledge of Terraform for infrastructure-as-code deployment and management.
  • Security: Must possess strong knowledge of security best practices for containers and Kubernetes clusters.
