• Implement identity and access controls using Okta and other cloud auth providers.
• Leverage cloud tools in AWS.
• Consume and build RESTful APIs, integrating with both SQL and NoSQL data stores.
• Participate in agile development methodologies including Scrum, and contribute to sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams in architecture design, technical reviews, and troubleshooting complex issues.
• Maintain high code quality through testing, automation, and continuous integration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• Demonstrated ability to work on both greenfield and legacy systems in agile team environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience integrating or working with AI‑assisted tools in development workflows.
• Familiarity with microservices, containerised environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and event‑driven systems.
• Developing, deploying, and operating applications on AWS.
