- Proficiency in Golang and JavaScript, along with experience managing infrastructure through Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and major cloud platforms.
- A self-driven approach that allows you to thrive autonomously, taking full responsibility for your projects from conception to deployment.
- Excellent communication skills in English, enabling you to work effectively with partners and cross-functional teams.
