Experience with CI/CD tools, including GitHub Actions, and knowledge of web security protocols (OAuth2). Competence in multiple programming languages and frameworks, including Python (Django), Node.js, JavaScript, Java, React.js, HTML, and CSS. Experience with cloud platforms (Google Cloud Platform preferred), containerization (Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform). Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills; ability to work independently and in a team. Experience with message buses (Google Pub/Sub, Kafka) and event-driven programming. Familiarity with agile methodologies (Scrum) and tools like Jira is a plus. Completion of a University degree, college diploma, technical training, or equivalent experience. Benefits: Competitive contract compensation, aligned with skills and experience. Opportunities to work on impactful projects that benefit customers and society.
