• Strong understanding of cloud networking concepts (VNETs, VPNs, DNS, routing, firewalls).
• Hands‑on experience with Azure infrastructure services.
• Proficiency with Terraform, including modules, workspaces, and state management.
• Solid programming skills in Python or a comparable language.
• Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, etc.) is an asset.
• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability tools.
• Knowledge of security best practices and compliance frameworks.

Nice to Have

• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to Secret Management Tools (Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault).
• Background in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering.

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / IaC)

• Develop, maintain, and version Terraform configurations for Azure infrastructure.
• Manage Terraform state securely and efficiently using remote backends and state locking mechanisms.
• Build reusable Terraform modules to standardize infrastructure deployment patterns.
• Automate provisioning workflows for compute, networking, storage, and platform services.

Automation & Programming
