• Technical Mentorship: Champion clean code (SOLID, DRY) and provide high-level analysis during peer code reviews.
• DevOps Culture: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps (YAML) or GitHub Actions.

✅ Selection Criteria

• Experience: 8+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with 5+ years dedicated to the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem.
