* Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Private Cloud, including services related to app hosting, data storage, serverless computing, and monitoring
* Experience with containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes for managing app deployments at scale
* Understanding of app security best practices, encryption standards, and secure coding guidelines for iOS and Android platforms
* Experience in implementing security scans, vulnerability assessments, and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines for apps
* Knowledge of app authentication mechanisms, API security, and data protection requirements in accordance with industry standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10, GDPR, HIPAA)
* Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python) for automation tasks related to infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and deployment workflows
