  • Apply best practices in software engineering, testing, DevOps, and continuous delivery.
  • Monitor, debug, and improve application performance and reliability in a cloud-native environment.
  • Stay current with emerging backend and cloud technologies to inform tech decisions. 
OUR SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE
