- Manage secrets and configuration using Key Vault and enforce secure access practices.
- Define and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboards using Log Analytics and Application Insights; track SLIs/SLOs.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Bicep.
- Support incident response and root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions that reduce repeat incidents.
- Support release validation and production deployments in partnership with engineering and QA teams.
- Use AI-assisted tools to speed up troubleshooting, automation, and documentation.
Required Skills :
- 4+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure roles.

- Strong troubleshooting and incident-response skills.
Nice to Have :
- Azure or Kubernetes certifications.
