• Infrastructure-as-code and cloud platform administration on Microsoft Azure (compute, storage, identity, networking basics); Terraform or equivalent.

• Strong Python and SQL for automation and tooling.

• Experience with observability/monitoring tooling and SRE practices — SLAs/SLOs, alerting, and incident management.

• Demonstrated rigor in security, access control, and secure, compliant handling of sensitive data.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience in financial services or insurance platform work, and familiarity with model risk and regulatory audit expectations.

• Databricks administration — Unity Catalog, cluster policies, and Mosaic AI — and familiarity with Azure Machine Learning.

• Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes; Azure AKS or Container Apps).

• Experience with data-quality / observability tooling (e.g., Great Expectations, Monte Carlo, or similar).
