• Coach other engineers on DevOps culture and practices; comfortably educate both technical and non‑technical colleagues about DevOps.

• Expertise in key DevOps tools and technologies such as Jenkins, Git, Spinnaker, Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, and Harness.
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (GCP) and cloud‑native application architectures.

• Proven ability to implement CI/CD pipelines and improve software deployment processes for faster and more reliable releases.
• Solid understanding of monitoring and logging tools (e.g. Dynatrace) to ensure system health and operational efficiency.
• Experience working in an Agile environment, collaborating closely with development, QA, and operations teams.
• Familiarity with security practices in DevOps (DevSecOps) and automation of security policies in the software development lifecycle.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues across a variety of systems.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Certification in DevOps, Cloud, or related fields (e.g., Google Cloud Professional DevOps Engineer).
