Proven experience designing, developing and deploying scalable backend systems.
Familiarity with CI/CD, containerisation, deployment technologies and cloud platforms (Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS).
Excellent communication, collaboration and problem‑solving skills, ideally gained in an agile environment.

If you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We value potential, curiosity and a willingness to grow.
