• Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor).
  
• Lead incident management, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis (RCA) for production issues.
  
• Drive performance tuning and capacity planning for applications and infrastructure.
  
• Collaborate with development teams to improve deployment strategies (blue‑green, canary releases).
  
• Ensure security, compliance, and best practices across CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure.
  

• 
  
• 8+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering / DevOps / Infrastructure Engineering.
  
• Strong hands‑on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, ELB, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch).
  
• Deep expertise in Azure DevOps Pipelines (CI/CD), including YAML pipelines and release automation.
  
• Experience designing multi‑stage pipelines and deployment strategies.
  
• Expertise in Windows Server administration, including IIS and .NET application support.
  
• Strong experience with Linux system administration.
  
• Hands‑on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS).
  
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates).
  
• Strong scripting skills in PowerShell (mandatory) and Bash/Python.
  
• Experience with monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch).
  
• Solid understanding of networking, security, and cloud architecture principles.
