- Automate application deployment, infrastructure provisioning, testing, and release processes.
- Deploy and manage containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS preferred).
- Configure and support Azure networking components such as VNets, NSGs, Load Balancers, Application Gateway, Private Endpoints, and Key Vault.
- Implement monitoring, observability, and centralized logging using Splunk, Dynatrace, Prometheus, or Grafana.
- Develop automation scripts using Python and Bash.
- Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and participate in on-call production support.
- Collaborate with Development, QA, and Platform Engineering teams to implement DevOps best practices.
- Ensure platform security, reliability, scalability, and performance across cloud environments.
