• Strong background in Dev Ops, CI/CD, IaC (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
• Proven experience in network architecture, VPNs, load balancers, firewalls, and enterprise connectivity.
• Security architecture experience (IAM, encryption, audit logging) highly desirable.
• Deep understanding of cloud architectures (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Expertise in middleware/API management platforms.
• Strong knowledge of networking protocols and enterprise integration patterns.
• Familiarity with regulatory and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST).
