Experience with next generation software methodologies such as Agile and tools such as Gitlab DevOps, CI/CD and other best practices.

Clear communication skills and ability to collaborate in a cross-functional, agile environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with GraphQL APIs (e.g., Strawberry, Graphene) and/or RESTful services.

Proficiency with Apache Airflow for orchestration of ETL/ELT workflows and data pipeline reliability.

Experience operating services in AWS cloud environments, including containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)

Infrastructure-as-code familiarity (Terraform/OpenTofu, CloudFormation) and secrets/config management.
