Exceptional oral and written communication skills, with a focus on clarity, persuasion, and customer satisfaction.

Experience in leading technical discussions and presenting solutions to customers and senior management.

Key Responsibilities:

Customer Requirement Analysis:
Work directly with customers to gather and analyze their cloud requirements.

Translate business needs into technical designs that can be implemented by engineering teams.

Cloud Solution Design:
Design cloud architectures that meet customer requirements for performance, scalability, and security.

DevOps & Automation Implementation:
Lead the design and implementation of CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that all cloud deployments are automated and reproducible.

Guide the transition from manual deployment processes to automated, IaC-driven solutions using tools like Terraform and Ansible.

Collaboration & Leadership:
Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure that designs are implemented effectively and align with customer expectations.
