- Solid understanding of cloud networking fundamentals: VPC/VNet architecture, routing, firewall rules, private endpoints, and hybrid/VPN connectivity.

- Working knowledge of DevSecOps practices and integrating security guardrails into the software delivery lifecycle.
- Proven experience building and maintaining Continuous Integration & Delivery pipelines using CI/CD platforms (preferably GitLab CI).
- Hands-on scripting proficiency with Python and Bash.
