  • Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions.
  • Solid understanding of cloud networking, identity (Azure AD / Managed Identity), private endpoints, and security controls.
  • Experience designing self-service platforms or reusable infrastructure patterns.
  • Strong understanding of reliability engineering, incident management, and change control in production environments.
  • Practical experience with observability and monitoring, ideally with New Relic or equivalent tools.
  • Ability to balance delivery speed with risk management, stability, and long-term sustainability.
