• Cloud & DevOps: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps practices (CI/CD, containerization, monitoring).
• Integration Expertise: Hands-on experience with integrating systems via APIs, webhooks, and data pipelines.
• Communication: Excellent communication and project management skills.
• Analytical Approach: Ability to use data-driven decision-making, including A/B testing and performance monitoring, to refine solutions.
