• Strong understanding of container and microservices technologies, with 3+ years of hands-on experience working with Kubernetes and preferably ArgoCD in production environments.

• Solid understanding of core database fundamentals, ideally with exposure to platforms using combinations of relational databases and NoSQL databases, data warehousing solutions and ETL pipelines.

• Strong expertise in CI/CD concepts, tools, and practices, with hands-on experience using tools like GitLab, Maven, Gradle, Nexus, Artifactory, and SonarQube.

• Extensive experience with containerisation technologies such as Docker and virtualisation platforms like Vagrant, and VirtualBox.

• Expertise in infrastructure automation tools like Terraform and Ansible, with a deep understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code principles.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of conveying technical information to diverse audiences, including non-technical stakeholders.
