• Contribute to pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or OCI DevOps), containerize apps with Docker, and assist with Kubernetes deployments (including OCI Container Engine for Kubernetes - OKE).
• Add structured logging, tracing, and metrics (App Insights, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, or OCI Observability and Management); help troubleshoot incidents.
• Implement OAuth2/OIDC, role-based access, input validation, and secure secrets handling (such as OCI Vault); follow secure coding standards.
• Work with relational databases (SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Oracle Autonomous Database on OCI); assist in data mapping, migrations, and performance tuning.
• Participate in stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint reviews/retros; keep work items up to date and well-documented.
