  • Familiarity with DevOps tools such as Jenkins, Git, Maven, and Docker.

  • Experience with JUnit, Mockito, and other testing frameworks for unit and integration testing.

  • Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools like Jira or Confluence.

Preferred Skills

  • Full-stack development experience spanning front-end, back-end, and database layers.

  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills with a willingness to dig deep into technical issues.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, including API Gateway and Lambda functions.

  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, automated deployment strategies, and microservices architecture.
