  • Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices architectures
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Solid understanding of software development life cycles (SDLC) and agile methodologies
