Help define and guide CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC, e.g., ARM Templates, Terraform), automation, monitoring, alerting and operationalisation of solutions

Mentor and collaborate with development teams, support cloud-application design, secure coding practices, performance tuning, and knowledge transfer relevant to Indian delivery model

Stay current with new Azure services/features, evaluate suitability for India-based architecture, and recommend adoption of relevant capabilities
