• Experienced Java Developer: Advanced knowledge and hands-on experience in software development using modern frameworks such as Spring Boot, with Java as the primary programming language, are foundational to this role.
• Database Expert: A solid understanding of both relational and non-relational databases is required, with a strong preference for candidates who have direct experience with Postgres and MongoDB.
