• Knowledge of key Azure services such as App Services, Virtual Machines, AKS, Azure Networking and Azure AD.
• Ability to script and automate using PowerShell, Python or Bash.
• Awareness of cloud-native architecture, containerisation (e.g. Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
• A collaborative approach and a problem-solving mindset, with the ability to work independently or as part of a distributed team.
