Desirable Skills:
- Experience with microservices architectures and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) and asynchronous processing.
- Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
- Knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases and performance tuning.
- Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Relevant professional certifications in Java or cloud platforms (e.g., AWS Certified Developer, Azure Developer Associate, Oracle Java Certification) preferred.
