  • Experience working with containerisation technologies and deployment tools.
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
  • Ability to work effectively within a collaborative engineering environment.
 
Desirable Experience
  • Exposure to AI-assisted development, agentic engineering or specification-driven development.
  • Experience operating applications within cloud-based environments.
  • Knowledge of high-traffic, consumer-facing digital platforms.
  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
 
What's on Offer?
