Competence in testing strategies (unit, integration, contract tests) and automated test frameworks. Experience with containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation) is desirable. Strong communication skills, collaborative mindset and experience working in cross‑functional teams. Nice to have Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and serverless architectures. Background in observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and distributed tracing. Familiarity with performance testing, load testing and capacity planning. Previous experience working on consumer‑facing products at scale or real‑time systems. What we offer A collaborative and inclusive culture that values creativity, curiosity and healthy risk‑taking. Opportunities to shape technical direction and influence high‑impact products. Competitive salary, flexible working arrangements and professional development support.
