2. Continuous Learning
Stay ahead of industry trends and continually enhance your skills to drive innovation. Share knowledge to strengthen our technical community.
3. DevOps Delivery
Implement and refine DevOps practices to balance development and operations. Drive automation and reliability while reducing technical debt.
About You
1. Expertise in modern component-oriented front-end frameworks and libraries with a strong appreciation for user experience (UX) and customer-focused design.
2. Familiarity in a Microsoft/Azure tech stack.
3. Experience with CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Octopus Deploy) or a strong understanding of continuous deployment principles.
4. Passionate about agile practices and small iterations to optimise feedback loops.
5. Awareness of security best practices to ensure robust software delivery.
6. A collaborative mindset, contributing to team and community excellence.
7. Open to applying innovative ideas and approaches, regardless of your previous industry background.
