• Solid understanding of software development lifecycles (SDLC), cloud architecture (AWS or Azure), enterprise API integration, and data migration strategies.
• Proficiency with enterprise project management tools (Jira, Confluence, MS Project, Asana).
• Key Competencies: Exceptional leadership, structured problem-solving, stakeholder negotiation, and clear verbal/written communication skills.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business Information Systems, or equivalent practical industry experience.
