- Manage containerized environments and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

- Implement best practices for cloud security, cost optimization, monitoring, and alerting.

- Support the deployment and maintenance of modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift).

- Design and enforce networking, identity access, and compliance standards aligned with client requirements.
