  • Technical proficiency including understanding of DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, API integrations, Git workflows, and cloud-based architectures.
  • Familiarity with essential technical concepts including builds, releases, version control, cloud services, APM (Application Performance Monitoring), network infrastructure components, and queue management systems.
  • Exceptional communication skills with ability to translate intricate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with project management and collaboration platforms including JIRA, Confluence, Slack, MS Teams, and Asana.
