* Git, including branching and code review in a multi-developer team
* Experience working in an agile, kanban, scrum or waterfall environment
* Experience supporting software to SLA, working directly with customers
* A degree in IT or equivalent industry experience
* Excellent communication, a team-player attitude, and the ability to take ownership of problems through to resolution
Desirable

* Azure DevOps or Jenkins for CI/CD
* Awareness of secure development (OWASP Top 10)
* ITIL 4 Foundation or service desk/ITSM experience
