Data & Messaging Systems • Expertise in Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, and Redis. • Understanding of OLTP systems and distributed data architectures. Automation & CI/CD • Deep experience with Terraform, Ansible, and automated deployment pipelines. • Exposure to Blue/Green or Canary deployments for zero-downtime releases. Security & Infrastructure • Proficiency with Linux, networking, and firewall configuration. • Strong understanding of network observability, API gateways, and TLS/SSL. Languages & Scripting • Proficiency in Python or equivalent scripting language for automation and data analysis.
