• Strong DevOps and CI/CD exposure
• Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced product environment
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills

Highly Regarded

• Experience building for Microsoft 365 and/or Microsoft Teams
• Experience with Celery or distributed task processing

• Tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science or similar (valued but not essential)

Who This Role Suits This role is for a builder — not a ticket-taker.
You are commercially aware, product-minded and comfortable taking ownership. You care about performance, clean architecture and scalable design. You’re not threatened by AI — you use it to ship faster and smarter.
If you prefer narrow backend-only roles or minimal ownership, this isn’t it.
