• Understanding of web application security concepts, such as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and the understanding how to integrate authentication and authorization mechanisms into applications, data validation, and protection against vulnerabilities.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to identify, debug, and resolve complex issues in both front‑end and back‑end components of applications.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills to work in cross‑functional teams, participate in code reviews, post incident reviews and communicate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across development, deployment, and monitoring practices.
• Champion DevOps best practices and automation to improve reliability and speed.
• A mindset focused on continuous learning, with a proactive approach to staying current with evolving DevOps practices, tooling, and industry trends.
