Requirements

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience in technical research, software engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven hands-on experience with at least one cloud platform (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern development tools.
  • Strong programming and scripting skills in languages such as JS, Python, or Bash.
