• Production coding experience in C#, Python, Node.js or similar.
• Strong hands-on AWS experience.
• Experience with AWS automation and infrastructure built through code.
• Infrastructure as Code experience, ideally Terraform.

• Strong understanding of testing, clean code, code reviews and maintainability.

Desirable

• Cloud migration / modernisation experience.
