We’ll look to you for:

• Designing, developing, and maintaining microservices-based components of the EBI Screen 2000 platform

• Containerizing applications with Docker and orchestrating deployments on RKE2 Kubernetes

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams in an Agile/Scrum environment

• Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following best practices

• Participating in code reviews, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and incident resolution

• Contributing to technical documentation and architectural decisions

• Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.), and cloud platforms (e.g., Azure)

• Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Helm) and monitoring solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) is a plus

• Understanding of security best practices, performance tuning, and distributed systems challenges
