You have a solid understanding of system design and distributed architectures, and can design scalable, reliable services.
You have hands-on experience with testing strategies and a genuine interest in improving test coverage, test automation, and CI/CD pipelines.
You take pride in writing clean, maintainable code and understand the importance of quality, performance, and security.
You communicate clearly and effectively in English, both verbally and in writing.
