* Provide technical assurance, governance, and value‑for‑money assessments for telecom and IT services.
* Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and stakeholders to define requirements and deliver integrated, secure solutions.

* Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), hybrid/private data centers, and CI/CD tools (Kubernetes, Docker, GitOps, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog).
