Hands-on experience with containers, registries, and OCI image workflows.
Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automation (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins).

Experience working in DevOps, platform engineering, or internal developer platform environments.
Working experience with object- oriented programming languages such as C# and .NET.
