  • Demonstrated experience managing both relational databases (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL) and non-relational databases (such as MongoDB or Redis).
  • Solid understanding of Unix/Linux operating environments including scripting and automation best practices.
  • Practical knowledge of containerisation tools like Docker combined with orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes for deploying scalable applications.
  • Familiarity with designing RESTful APIs alongside implementing microservices architectures within distributed systems.
  • Previous exposure to fintech or payment business domains is highly desirable for understanding regulatory requirements and customer expectations.
