• Deliver and maintain multi-environment setups (dev, test, production)
• Build and manage CI/CD pipelines (Azure Dev Ops / Git Hub Actions)
• Operate real-time data pipelines (IoT messaging processing storage)
• Implement retry, dead-letter and idempotent processing patterns
• Monitor and optimise system performance, latency and throughput
• Implement monitoring, alerting and audit logging across the platform
• Support incident response, root cause analysis and post-incident improvements
• Ensure end-to-end data flow reliability from asset to cloud

• CI/CD pipeline experience (Azure Dev Ops or Git Hub Actions)
• Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems
• Understanding of reliability patterns (retry, idempotency, dead-lettering)
• Experience operating production systems with monitoring and alerting
• Strong understanding of cloud security principles: RBAC and least privilege; managed identities and secret management
• Secure network design and service access
• Awareness of compliance and regulated environments
• Desirable: time-series databases (Quest
  
  DB, Influx
  
  DB or similar);
  IoT/industrial systems (Modbus, OPC UA, DNP3);
  Docker/containerisation; multi-region deployments
