- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills with cross-functional technical teams.

- Familiarity with Zero Trust architecture, immutable storage, and cyber vault concepts.
- Experience implementing cloud database resiliency solutions across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Knowledge of enterprise backup automation, monitoring, and configuration management tools.
- Experience working in highly regulated environments with strong audit and compliance requirements.
