  • Experience with Maven/Gradle, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases.
  • Strong understanding of application security, performance optimization, and scalability.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in platform modernization or application migration projects.
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • Exposure to messaging systems like Kafka or IBM MQ.
  • Knowledge of monitoring tools like New Relic, Dynatrace, or Prometheus.

Soft Skills
