  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and deploying scalable, containerised applications in distributed environments 

  • Experience working with microservices architecture, asynchronous processing (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ), and API performance tuning 

  • A pragmatic problem-solver with excellent debugging skills and a passion for clean, testable code
