  • A strong focus on writing well-architected, testable, maintainable, and documented code

  • Strong analytical thinking in both technical and product-related problem solving

  • Clear, open, and concise communication skills, with professional proficiency in English

Nice to have:

  • Experience with GDPR, KYC, or other regulated-process environments

  • Exposure to Salesforce, client support tooling, or client engagement platforms

  • DevOps experience and confidence working with cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines
