- Familiarity with web technologies or APIs.
- Ability to work with version control systems such as Git.
What will help you on the job

- Problem‑solving mindset and willingness to learn quickly.
- Strong collaboration skills and ability to communicate technical concepts clearly.
- Curiosity about cloud technologies, CI/CD, and observability tools.
- Enthusiasm for improving operational workflows through software.
Our team is moving toward more automation, enhanced visibility tools, and scalable internal applications.
