• Experience designing and developing RESTful APIs using OpenAPI specifications and Zod for schema validation.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK and understanding of AWS IAM concepts.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and code quality tools such as Bitbucket Pipelines, SonarCloud, and ESLint.
• Experience developing unit tests using Vitest and supporting automated API and end-to-end testing with tools such as Playwright and Postman.
• Knowledge of secure coding practices, including PII and PCI security requirements.
• Experience working with Spec-Driven Development methodologies and tools such as Kiro.

• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to contribute effectively within Agile development teams.
• Fluent English proficiency, both written and spoken.

Nice to Have:

• Experience working with SQL Server, particularly in data synchronization or integration environments.
