 + Ability to write clean, scalable, and maintainable code

 + Understanding of networking fundamentals and distributed computing concepts

 + Strong sense of ownership and ability to deliver solutions end-to-end

## Description

+ Manage and maintain scalable infrastructure across cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP)

 + Install, configure, and maintain databases such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB

 + Design and implement backup and disaster recovery strategies

 + Support and optimize DevOps toolchains including Jenkins, Artifactory, Consul, and similar tools

 + Build and manage Kubernetes clusters for containerized workloads

 + Deploy and maintain open-source technologies such as Docker, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, and Fluentd

 + Develop monitoring solutions to ensure system performance and reliability

 + Diagnose and resolve production issues to maintain uptime and system health

 + Collaborate with internal teams and stakeholders to promote cloud-native best practices

 + Lead smaller technical initiatives and contribute to larger infrastructure projects
