  • Proficiency in relational databases such as SQL Server or PostgreSQL, with strong testing and CI/CD pipeline skills.
  • Familiarity with observability tools like New Relic, Datadog, or Splunk, and incident response procedures.
  • Solid understanding of secure coding practices, API security (Spring Security, OKTA), and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Excellent collaboration, mentorship, and code review capabilities.
