  • Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI, Jira)
  • Experience working in containerized environments (e.g. Kubernetes, Docker)
  • Cloud experience required - AWS a plus
  • Exposure to finance processes or AI/ML engineering a plus
  • The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic, fast-moving environment and enjoys the challenge of things changing quickly; they also blend technical depth with business savvy, have sharp analytical instincts and the interpersonal skills to bring people along with them
