• You are comfortable working with GitHub and associated operational or development tools; exposure to tools such as PuTTY and UiPath is beneficial.
• You can apply object-oriented programming principles and have the ability to design and develop maintainable solutions.
• An understanding of networking and databases is desirable.
• You communicate effectively in written and spoken English and can collaborate with technical and operational teams.
• You are comfortable continually developing your knowledge as collaboration technologies, cloud platforms and DevOps practices evolve.
