- Cloud-Native Deployment: Manage and deploy containerized applications within AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and develop serverless logic using AWS Lambda.
- CI/CD Pipeline Management: Maintain and optimize CI/CD pipelines to automate builds, testing, and deployment processes, ensuring a robust and rapid release cycle.
- API Design: Develop and maintain secure, scalable RESTful APIs that serve as the backbone for various internal and external service integrations.

- Testing: Expertise in writing unit tests and familiarity with Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices.
- Version Control: Expert knowledge of Git for branching, merging, and pull request workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, DynamoDB).
