  • Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet.
  • Hands-on experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Python, Bash, or Power Shell.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog).
  • Solid understanding of networking principles, security best practices, and system administration.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, essential for a remote team environment.
