• Stadardize deployment artifacts and container repositories across multiple environments (Dev, Staging, Production)

• Build resilient systems using modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and disaster recovery patterns to achieve high availability.

• Design operational solutions in direct partnership with internal engineering, QA, and security stakeholders.

• Proven hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, or AKS).

• Deep understanding of declarative provisioning tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible.

• Ability to perform deep-dive root-cause analysis, analyze systems performance, and solve complex technical challenges under pressure

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to articulate architectural decisions, technical trade-offs, and operational risks.
