• Strong hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure, including services like EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, App Services, and related tooling.
• Experience with CI/CD systems (e.g. GitLab, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, etc.).
• Proficiency in scripting or automation with PowerShell, Bash, Python, or infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform.
• Familiarity with managing Windows and Linux-based environments.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with both software engineers and business stakeholders.
