• Participate in architecture and design discussions to define scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure patterns for new and existing products.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to platform architecture and engineering standards.

• 6+ years of hands-on DevOps / Cloud / Platform Engineering / SRE experience.
• Strong hands-on production experience with Microsoft Azure.
• Strong production experience with AKS, Kubernetes, and Docker.
• Strong hands-on experience designing and managing production infrastructure using Terraform or equivalent IaC.
