Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack), scripting (Python, Bash), and security integration (DevSecOps). Engineers familiar with microservices, cloud optimization, and compliance are highly sought after. Soft skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and communication enhance employability in collaborative environments.
