• Proficiency with Git-based source control and CI/CD workflows.

Nice To Haves

• Work in an Agile (Scrum/Kanban) environment and lead technical activities across the team: estimation, sprint planning, full software development lifecycle work, code reviews, research, deployments, and documentation.
• Own the design and delivery of complex features across the DMS platform and DMS API, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with the broader technical architecture.
• Drive architectural decisions for data integration pipelines and API services, and help evolve the platform’s cloud infrastructure.
• Partner with a cross-functional team to diagnose and resolve challenging software bugs, performance bottlenecks, and integration issues.
