  • Experience with modern front-end technologies and best practices (e.g., state management, component libraries, UI/UX design).
  • Hands-on experience with containerization using Docker, including building, running, and deploying containerized applications.
  • Proven experience working in Agile environments, with a solid understanding of iterative delivery
  • Hands-on experience with AWS services (for example EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, or CloudFormation/Terraform) will be a strong plus
  • Experience designing and consuming REST APIs
  • Working knowledge of relational and/or NoSQL databases
  • Familiarity with version control (Git), automated testing, and CI/CD practices
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to working across disciplines
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

 

Preferred

  • Experience with microservices and event-driven architectures
  • Experience with Kubernetes orchestration in production
  • Knowledge of application security best practices
  • AWS certification (such as Solutions Architect Associate or Developer Associate)
  • Exposure to observability tooling (CloudWatch, New Relic, Datadog, or similar)
  • Agile certification (such as Scrum Master or SAFe)

 

Nice to have

  • A problem-solving mindset and attention to quality
