- Build and maintain secure and efficient CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar.

- Lead Kubernetes cluster design, deployment, and day-to-day operations (self-managed or EKS/GKE).

- Enforce DevSecOps practices - integrating security scanning, compliance checks, and secrets management into pipelines.

- Monitor infrastructure and application performance using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, CloudWatch, or ELK stack.

- Collaborate with development and QA teams to streamline release cycles and support a shift-left culture.

- Manage and optimize Linux-based systems (Ubuntu/RedHat) and databases such as MySQL and MongoDB.
