- Proven ability to architect and deploy scalable solutions using a Serverless model (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) in a production environment.
- Deep understanding of database systems (SQL/NoSQL) and experience in data modelling for scale and concurrency.
- Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS preferred), containerisation, and DevOps principles (CI/CD, IaC).
- Exceptional leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, with a proven track record of technical ownership.
