• Database Mastery: Deep knowledge of relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra), including complex query optimization, indexing, and data modeling for scale.
• Cloud Fluency: Extensive experience with major cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, or GCP) and familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
