  • Strong full‑stack engineering background across both front‑end and back‑end systems.
  • Hands‑on experience with a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure or GCP) and exposure to IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation or equivalent).
  • Experience working with large, complex codebases and contributing to legacy‑to‑cloud modernisation initiatives.
  • Proficiency with modern back‑end development (Node.js, Java, .NET or similar) and modern front‑end frameworks.
• Desirable :
  • Knowledge of S‑101 (ENC) and broader S‑100 product specifications.
  • Experience integrating with chart‑compilation tools, maritime data services, or GIS platforms.
  • Familiarity with Azure DevOps, CI / CD pipelines and automated testing practices.
  • Exposure to geospatial data processing, maritime visualisation tools or workflows.
