- Containerised services on a cloud platform, CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar), logging, tracing and monitoring
- Secure coding practices and access control in a multi-tenant environment
- Fluent English, written and spoken
- High autonomy: you drive your own work without close supervision
Nice to have:
