• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage with senior stakeholders and technical leaders.

Desirable Skills

• Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible).
• Familiarity with data streaming/event driven architectures (Kafka, Flink, Pulsar) and high throughput systems.
• Mature experience with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and micro frontend patterns.
• Strong testing & observability mindset (JUnit, Jest, Cypress) and performance optimisation.
