• Contribute to DevOps engineering: observability, automation, configuration management, containerisation and scalable service deployment.

• Good understanding of engineering fundamentals: unit/integration testing, SOLID principles, Git workflows.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills; comfortable working in Agile ceremonies.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with containerisation/orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes.
