DevSecOps & Security · Implement security controls throughout the software delivery lifecycle rather than treating security as a final release step. · Integrate SAST, dependency scanning, container image scanning, secret scanning, and policy/compliance checks into CI/CD. · Apply least-privilege access, secure service connections, managed identities, and controlled production permissions. · Protect secrets using Azure Key Vault or equivalent secret-management platforms. · Understand secure handling of credentials, tokens, certificates, private keys, and pipeline variables. · Support vulnerability remediation, security findings triage, and release blocking based on defined severity thresholds. Git, GitHub & Release Management · Strong understanding of Git commands, branching, merging, rebasing, cherry-picking, tagging, and conflict resolution. · Experience with GitHub/Azure Repos pull requests, code reviews, branch protection, reviewers, and merge strategies. · Experience with GitFlow, trunk-based development, or equivalent enterprise branching strategies. · Ability to define versioning and release strategies suitable for multiple environments. · Experience supporting hotfixes, emergency releases, rollback, and release recovery. Docker & Kubernetes / AKS · Build optimized Docker images using Dockerfiles and multi-stage builds. · Understand image tagging, registries, image lifecycle, vulnerabilities, and immutable release practices. · Deploy and troubleshoot workloads in Kubernetes/AKS environments. · Hands-on understanding of Pods, Deployments, ReplicaSets, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Namespaces, Ingress, probes, requests/limits, and autoscaling. · Troubleshoot common Kubernetes issues such as CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff, pending pods, service connectivity, failed probes, and configuration issues. · Understand Kubernetes rollout, rollback, scaling, and deployment health validation.
