    QL)
  • Asynchronous and event-driven programming
  • Frontend architecture and state management (where applicable)
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern engineering practices

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS and/or Azure
• Familiarity with distributed systems and scalable architecture patterns
• Experience with automated testing across unit, integration, and end-to-end levels
• Experience in enterprise or regulated environments (e.g., banking, fintech)

Personal Attributes

• Strong emphasis on teamwork and collective ownership of outcomes
• Ability to operate effectively in client-facing environments
• High standards for quality, performance, and maintainability
• Curiosity and a growth mindset
  , with a desire to expand beyond current specialisation
