tests using JUnit and React Testing Library / Jest, with strong unit and integration coverage.

and technical documentation with a focus on thoughtful, scalable design.

(branching strategies, PRs, code reviews).

• 1–2 years of experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker,

Kubernetes, or Podman).

• Solid experience with JUnit and/or other automated testing frameworks; commitment to high

test coverage.

management.

• Prior experience in financial services, capital markets, or fintech environments.
