Familiarity with distributed systems, microservices, Kubernetes, or cloud-native infrastructure.
Understanding of authentication, authorization, identity and access management, or RBAC/ABAC concepts.
Experience working with high-performance, high-availability services in large-scale enterprise or cloud environments.
