- Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and basic cloud networking concepts.
- Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work independently within guidelines.
Desirable Skills (Nice to Have)
- Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation).
- Exposure to event‑driven systems (Kafka, SNS/SQS, Kinesis).
- Experience with monitoring/observability tools (ELK, CloudWatch, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Splunk).
- Familiarity with security best practices and OWASP principles.
