  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
  • Strong knowledge of design patterns, SOLID principles, clean code, Git, and collaborative development.
  • Understanding of distributed systems concepts including fault tolerance, circuit breakers, retries, and observability.
Desirable Qualifications
  • Experience working on government, state, federal, or other public-sector IT projects.
  • Experience with microservices patterns such as Saga, CQRS, event sourcing, and API composition.
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes/ECS, and service mesh technologies.
