- Presenting progress at a weekly client playback
- Giving a demo of an IBM Cloud Pak capability in a customer workshop
Required Professional and Technical Expertise:
- At least 5+ years of experience, preferably in cloud-native technology
- Professional experience and skills in either development or infrastructure
- With at least one modern programming language e.g. Java, JavaScript, Python, React,
- OR with automation and DevOps scripting e.g. bash, Terraform, Tekton
- Hands-on experience with one or more cloud platforms e.g. IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, GCP
- Client-facing experience (internal or external) - building strong and collaborative relationships with project sponsors and stakeholders
- Track record of work experience using Agile principles and best practices
- Industry experience e.g. financial services, retail, industrial
- Experience following Test Driven Development (TDD) practices
- Experience building and utilising APIs e.g. RESTful
