  • DevOps Integration: Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, or AWS CloudFormation for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Soft Skills

  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
  • A strategic mindset with a focus on long-term scalability rather than quick fixes.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with message brokers like Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ.
  • Familiarity with front-end frameworks (React/Angular) for full-stack context.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional).
