• Modernize legacy applications by refactoring, containerizing (Docker), and orchestrating workloads using Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, OKE) across Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud.
• Design, develop, and deploy custom SharePoint Online solutions, including SPFx web parts, Microsoft Graph integrations, Teams embeds, and secure collaboration sites.
• Implement secure API architectures (REST/Graph
  
  QL) with authentication (OAuth 2.0, Entra , AWS Cognito, Oracle IDCS), rate limiting, and monitoring.
• Conduct multi‑cloud security gap assessments aligned with ISO 27001, NIST, and CIS benchmarks; deliver prioritized remediation roadmaps.
• Enforce cloud‑native security controls:
  • Identity & access (Entra , AWS IAM, Oracle IAM)
  • Network policies (NSGs, Security Groups, OCI NSGs)
  • Secrets management (Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Oracle Vault)
  • Container image scanning and runtime protection
• Automate provisioning, configuration, and compliance using Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, ARM, Cloud Formation) and scripting (Python or Power Shell).
• Build custom monitoring and compliance dashboards (e.g., Power BI, Grafana, native cloud tools) to track application health, security posture, and modernization KPIs.
• Embed security into CI/CD pipelines (Azure Dev Ops, AWS Code Pipeline, Oracle Dev Ops) with automated testing, dependency checks, and policy gates.
• Collaborate with architects, developers, and compliance teams to ensure secure, scalable, and maintainable application designs.
• Evaluate and integrate third‑party services via secure API consumption and publishing patterns.

• 6–8 years of experience in cloud engineering, cybersecurity, or application modernization—with hands‑on work across at least two of:
  Microsoft Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud.
• Proven SharePoint development expertise:
  • Modern SharePoint Online (SPFx, Microsoft Graph, REST APIs)
  • Integration with Power Platform, Teams, and Entra
• Strong experience with Docker and Kubernetes:
  • Building, securing, and deploying container images
  • Managing clusters (AKS/EKS/OKE), Helm charts, ingress/egress controls
• Demonstrated experience in application modernization (e.g., monolith‑to‑microservices, API‑first design, event‑driven architectures).
• Solid understanding of Zero Trust, identity‑centric security, and data protection in cloud‑native apps.
• Experience performing cloud security gap assessments and delivering remediation roadmaps aligned with compliance standards.

• Scripting & automation proficiency in Python and/or Power Shell (e.g., automating deployments, log parsing, API calls).
• API design and integration experience:
  • RESTful services, OpenAPI/Swagger
  • API gateways (Azure API Management, AWS API Gateway, Oracle API Gateway)
• Relevant certifications, such as:
• CKA / CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Administrator/Developer)
• AWS Certified Dev Ops Engineer / Security Specialist
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect / Security Professional
• Microsoft: AZ‑204 (Dev Ops), AZ‑500 (Security), SC‑400 (DLP)
• Familiarity with Git Ops, service meshes (Istio, Linkerd), and observability tools (Prometheus, Open Telemetry).
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST CSF, UAE government standards) in cloud and container contexts.
