• Strong hands-on development skills (ideally Java ; TypeScript and Go is a plus).
• Solid understanding of microservices and Kubernetes-based delivery.
• Good grasp of security fundamentals (authentication/authorization, secure coding; familiarity with SSO protocols like OIDC/OAuth/SAML is a plus).
• Experience working with modern platform components such as streaming, analytics, and observability stacks is beneficial.
• Interest or experience in IT security (e.g., threat modeling, secure architecture, vulnerability management, or security testing) is beneficial.
