• Solve a variety of technical challenges, including some that are moderately complex, within established architectural and engineering practices.

• Demonstrate growing technical proficiency while contributing to code quality, reliability, and continuous improvement efforts across the team.

Longer term, you will continue expanding your technical depth and influence by delivering reliable solutions, applying sound engineering judgment, and contributing to the success of Cloud Fit’s products and engineering practices.

• Experience developing or consuming REST APIs and working with unit and integration tests.

• Familiarity with Agile development and tools such as Jira or Azure Dev Ops.

• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

• Ability to work independently and follow existing architecture patterns with general guidance.

• Experience participating in customer-facing technical discussions.

Experience with Azure, AWS, or GCP; C#, .NET, Java, JavaScript/Type Script, React, Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, or observability tools. Cloud certifications or a related degree are helpful but not required.
