• Great communication skills and ability to interact effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.

• Define and design loosely coupled, scalable systems in a microservice architecture using industry best practices.
• Stay up‑to‑date, use, and share knowledge of the latest technologies employed by Checkout.

• Build, own, and operate your systems to the highest levels of resilience and service.
• Mentor junior team members and support their technical development.
