  • Hands-on experience with Docker (building images, writing Dockerfiles, running containers)
  • Good understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering fundamentals
  • Familiarity with backend development concepts (APIs, databases, services)
  • Ability to work across different areas of software
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Preferred:

  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Experience with Kubernetes (K8s)

Can I use AI to apply?

AI has its limitations - and over-reliance can work against you. If your CV or answers sound overly generic or inconsistent with your experience, it can make it harder for us to understand you and your genuine potential. We are not looking for AI-written perfection; we are looking for people with curiosity, creativity, and a passion for solving complex challenges.
