• Very good understanding of SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) standard processes.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Bash, or similar languages).
• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) is highly desirable.
