  • Experience with caching solutions (Redis, Memcached, etc.).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a proactive mindset.


Benefits—
