  • 2-3 years of experience with SQL and relational database development.
  • 1-2 years of experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Podman, Kubernetes).
  • Proficiency with shell scripting for automation, troubleshooting, and operational support.
  • 2-3 years of experience with unit testing frameworks (e.g., Pytest, JUnit) and implementing automated test coverage.
  • An understanding of fixed income concepts, including duration, convexity, spread, and option-adjusted spread (OAS).
  • Good oral and written communication skills
