Practical Microsoft Azure or other cloud experience across compute, storage, networking, security and identity, including Entra ID, RBAC, Key Vault, Azure Policy and tenant-aware identity patterns.
Expertise designing distributed and scalable products and platforms using APIs, microservices, containers and Kubernetes, preferably AKS, across cloud or hybrid environments.

Strong analytical, collaboration and communication skills, including the ability to explain complex decisions to senior stakeholders and work effectively across globally distributed teams.
Desirable experience
InnerSource, internal developer platforms, reusable engineering assets, platform marketplaces or shared-services models.
AI-assisted and agentic engineering tools and workflows, with an understanding of appropriate security, quality and governance controls.
Low-code or no-code capabilities, workflow automation, enterprise user-experience patterns, data management or data governance.
Architecture or security certifications such as Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer, TOGAF, SAFe or comparable credentials.
A relevant degree or equivalent practical experience in engineering, computer science, information technology or a related discipline.
