·        Solid understanding of RESTful API design, including proper use of HTTP methods, status codes, validation, and error handling.

·        Hands-on experience implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms such as NextAuth/Auth.js, OAuth 2.0, JWTs, and session-based authentication.

·        Skilled in designing, building, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar tools for automated builds, testing, and deployments.

·        Hands-on experience deploying and operating applications on modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

·        Strong understanding of cloud architecture concepts including multi-region deployments, load balancing, VPCs, networking (VPC peering, subnets, firewalls), containerized workloads, serverless deployments (e.g., Cloud Run, ECS, Container Apps), and container registries.

·        Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform to enable automated, repeatable, and version-controlled provisioning of cloud and network resources.

·        Certifications in AWS, GCP, or Azure are beneficial and demonstrate verified cloud expertise

·        Strong hands-on experience with Linux and Windows environments, including server administration for applications and containerized deployments.

·        Comfortable working extensively in a terminal and performing troubleshooting and configuration tasks in both OS environments.
