  • Experience with monitoring, logging, and cost management tools across multiple clouds.

  • Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Haves:

  • Certifications across multiple providers (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Cloud Professional Architect).

  • Experience designing hybrid and federated cloud systems integrating on-prem and SaaS environments.

  • Familiarity with DevOps pipelines, CI/CD, and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, AKS, etc.).

  • Experience and interest in mentoring and training others, sharing your expertise.
