• Curious, detail-minded, and strong at solving problems, with a growth mindset.
• Keen to learn fast and contribute in a quick-moving engineering team.

Preferred

• Internship or professional experience in software engineering.
• Exposure to a cloud platform such as GCP, Azure, or AWS.
• Knowledge of CI/CD, deployment pipelines, or DevOps basics.
