• Cloud & DevOps Ecosystem: Production hands-on experience with AWS, Docker, container orchestrators (ECS/Kubernetes), Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab/Jenkins).

• System Architecture: Ability to take ownership of complex system challenges, translate business needs into technical designs, and mentor peers.

• Fluent English Communication: Comfortable collaborating with distributed global teams across different time zones.
