Essential qualifications include proficiency in Java, especially with Spring Boot, REST API development, and performance optimization. Experience with Python for service development using frameworks like FastAPI or Flask is also required. Demonstrable expertise in building front-end applications with React, preferably with TypeScript, modern hooks, and comprehensive testing strategies, is essential. Candidates must have practical experience working with AKS, understanding Kubernetes fundamentals such as deployments, ingress, configmaps, secrets, and autoscaling. Familiarity with containerization using Docker, CI/CD pipeline creation with Azure DevOps, and security practices like SAST/DAST and secrets management are required. A good understanding of modern identity management protocols such as OAuth2 and OIDC, along with experience in release management strategies, will be advantageous. Additional qualifications include knowledge of Azure services like ACR, Key Vault, Azure Monitor, and expertise in Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Bicep.
