• Manage source control using Git, maintain branching strategies, and enforce best practices in version control.
• Build, deploy, and manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Integrate and monitor systems using ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for observability and troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — QA, DevOps, architects, and product owners — to deliver robust solutions.
• Continuously identify performance bottlenecks and propose optimizations.
• Drive continuous improvement in coding practices, processes, and tools across the team.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
