• Solid experience working with Linux systems and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI).
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or containerized data workloads in production environments.
• Strong ability to manage multiple priorities in parallel while maintaining delivery quality.
• Excellent communication skills with a customer-focused and collaborative mindset.
