Skilled in applying software technical design principles to build scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions within modern cloud-based architectures.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent experience.
Experience with CI/CD tools and practices.
Strong problem‑solving & communication skills

Powered by Curiosity
- Demonstrates curiosity about the problem domain, system behaviour and emerging technologies, using learning to continuously improve platform capability and reliability.
- Proactively identifies opportunities to simplify, optimise or modernise systems, balancing innovation with pragmatism and delivery needs.
Own Every Outcome
- Takes end‑to‑end ownership of technical solutions, from design and implementation through to production readiness, performance and support.
- Holds themselves accountable for code quality, scalability and reliability, addressing issues proactively rather than reacting to failures.

Desirable:

Experience with modern frameworks and libraries (e.g., React, Node.js, Terraform, Celery)
Experience with database schema design and query optimisation
