• Code Excellence: Maintain high standards of code quality through rigorous peer reviews, automated testing (CI/CD), and documentation.

• Cloud & DevOps: Strong experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Ansible).
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Soft Skills: Strong analytical thinking and the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
