  Bash
  ) for automation tasks.
• Some familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools like
  Terraform
  or
  Ansible
  (or willingness to dive in).
• Understanding of monitoring and logging tools like
  Prometheus
  ,
  Grafana
  , or
  ElasticSearch
  .
• Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines, and stay organized in a fast-moving environment.
