* Knowledge of networking concepts (VNETs, NSGs, firewalls, load balancers).
* Experience with hybrid cloud or on-premises integrations (e.g., ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway).
* Familiarity with other cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) is a plus.
* Microsoft Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305, or AZ-400) are advantageous.
Soft Skills:
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
* Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking.
* Proactive, self-driven, and keen to learn new technologies.
