  • Excellent knowledge of the fast-moving technology landscape with a particular focus on cloud engineering and knowledge of:

    • Current best practices (e.g. BDD, CI/CD).

    • Architectural approaches and their future direction (e.g. modern front-end development/single-page applications, serverless services, infrastructure-as-code).

    • Full-stack JavaScript (React/Node JS) utilising AWS serverless services (e.g. Amplify, Lambda, Aurora).

  • A comprehensive understanding of the software delivery lifecycle and different approaches (including DevOps and Agile).

  • Has matured software engineering practices by retaining ambition and agility while establishing robust approaches fit for business-critical applications.
