Performance & Optimization

Networking & Security

Application Development & DevOps

• Develop and maintain cloud-native applications using modern programming languages (e.g., Python, Go, Java, C#, or similar).
• Design and develop simulators for testing, training, and validation purposes, supporting various system and integration scenarios.
• Build mock services and virtual environments to simulate real-world systems, third-party integrations, and external APIs.
• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for automated application deployment using GitHub Actions (and other DevOps tools as needed).
• Collaborate with development teams to optimize application architecture for cloud platforms, ensuring scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
• Create automation scripts (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Python) for infrastructure management and deployment workflows.
• Build realistic simulators to replicate production environments, external dependencies, and failure scenarios.
• Develop test harnesses and simulation frameworks to support load testing, resilience testing, and chaos engineering.
• Build training and sandbox environments for development, QA, and experimentation.
• Design data-driven simulators with configurable scenarios and behaviors to support complex business and operational use cases.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure cloud services (networking, compute, storage, security).
• Experience architecting and administering Red Hat OpenShift or other enterprise Kubernetes platforms.
• Practical experience implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform (or similar tools).
• Solid understanding and operational experience with Kubernetes, containers (Docker), and microservices.
• Proven experience in performance testing using JMeter, Neoload, or equivalent tools.
• Strong grasp of cloud networking concepts, security controls, and hybrid connectivity solutions.
• Experience developing cloud-native applications using at least one modern programming language.
• Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines (preferably with GitHub Actions) and integrating with cloud platforms.
• Experience creating simulators, mock services, and complex test environments for application and integration testing.
• Good understanding of DevOps practices, automation, and observability tools (logging, metrics, tracing).

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to tackle complex technical issues across infrastructure, networking, and applications.
• Clear verbal and written communication skills, able to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams (development, QA, operations, security, and business stakeholders).
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Proactive attitude, willingness to learn new technologies, and ownership mindset for assigned tasks and deliverables.
• High attention to detail and strong commitment to quality, reliability, and operational excellence.
