• Proven experience working in the banking or financial services industry, with an understanding of financial systems, regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, PCI DSS), and security best practices.

• Proficiency in building RESTful APIs and understanding API design principles.

• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Cassandra).

• Solid understanding of message brokers (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ).

• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
