- Experience developing cloud-native applications (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience defining testing strategies and applying test automation, ideally drawing on TDD or BDD.
- Experience implementing CI/CD practices such as git, branching, automated tests and automated deployment pipelines.
- Extensive experience working in an Agile team using Scrum or Kanban processes.
Personal qualities
- You’ll have a passion for delivering fantastic technology enabled products that deliver value to our clients
- You’ll be a great communicator and a collaborative team player – passionate about building great relationships with your colleagues and clients alike.
- You’ll be armed with initiative and will strive to solve problems yourself – Google’ing is half of the job!
- You’ll be comfortable using one or more programming languages and rolling your sleeves up when required.
- You’ll have a good understanding of services provided by the major public cloud vendors (AWS/Azure/GCP) and have built enterprise grade applications on one of these platforms before.
