Essential:
- Proven Leadership: Demonstrated experience as a Tech Lead or Senior Lead Engineer, guiding teams to deliver cloud-based applications.

- Distributed Architecture: Strong knowledge of microservices, event-driven architectures, RESTful APIs, and messaging protocols.
- Containers & DevOps: Solid experience with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS), CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps principles.
- Pragmatic AI Experience: Daily familiarity with AI coding tools, with proven ability to critique, correct, and govern AI-generated output—plus experience guiding teams on how to effectively leverage AI for refactoring, testing, and documentation.
- Agile Mastery: Deep familiarity with Scrum and Lean practices, with a track record of driving work items from refinement to production readiness.
