• Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, observable and maintainable
• Integrate with third-party systems in a resilient and secure way
• Write automated tests alongside development
• Contribute to design discussions and continuous improvement

Key Skills & Experience

• Commercial experience combining development + DevOps
• Hands-on experience with Harness (highly desirable / standout skill)
• Strong AWS experience
• Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
• CI/CD pipelines (Harness and/or GitLab)
