• Strong debugging skills to pinpoint underlying issues and enhance the technology stack, working closely with colleagues and team members like DevSecOps and SRE or those with equivalent experience.
• Strong verbal and written communication abilities, with a demonstrated history of being a standout colleague.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
