As part of your responsibilities, you will architect and provision Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, configuring node pools and integrating them with other Azure services. You will provide end-to-end system design for critical platforms, including core banking systems, and guide the DevOps strategy and CI/CD implementations.
