• Ability to work in a fast-paced, agile environment with AI-enhanced workflows.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with microservices architecture, containerization, and container orchestration.
• Background in building production-grade code, fully automated testing, and continuous delivery practices.
• Knowledge of Azure DevOps and related Azure tools.
• Exposure to AI/ML concepts and tools.
• Strong ownership mindset and communication skills.
