  * Knowledge of databases (SQL/NoSQL) and CI/CD pipelines.
  * Experience writing unit, integration, and functional tests.
  * Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
  * Collaborative mindset with the ability to mentor others.

Desirable:

* Familiarity with Agile methodologies.
* Exposure to front-end frameworks (React, Angular, etc.).
* Experience in high-availability or client-facing environments.

Why Join?
