• Hands-on or design-level expertise with:
• Kubernetes (deployment patterns, scaling, reliability concepts)
• Kafka (streaming concepts, integration patterns)
• Airflow (or similar workflow/workload orchestration tools)
• Strong architecture fundamentals: security-by-design, resiliency, performance, maintainability.
• Ability to translate business goals into actionable technical designs and guide delivery.

Nice to have

• DevOps skills (CI/CD, automation, infrastructure-as-code concepts).
• Testing experience (test strategy, quality gates, non-functional testing).
