• Ability to work independently and communicate effectively within a distributed engineering team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing and operating production microservices.
• Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and container-based deployment practices.
• Understanding of distributed systems concepts such as idempotency, eventual consistency, and circuit breakers.
• Experience implementing unit, integration, and end-to-end automated testing.
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps or similar release and pipeline management platforms.
• Experience with clean architecture, dependency injection, asynchronous programming, and middleware design.

Employment and Work Authorization
