Additional Skills:
Experience designing secure, scalable cloud-native architectures.
Exposure to open-source technologies and cloud-native ecosystems.
Ability to evaluate emerging technologies and create proof-of-concepts to improve engineering productivity and platform reliability.
Strong communication and mentoring skills, with experience supporting and guiding junior engineers.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with Azure networking, security, and cloud governance.
