• Databases: Deep understanding of SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB).
• Scalability & Performance: Expertise in designing high-availability, low-latency systems.
• Leadership & Communication: Ability to lead architecture discussions, mentor teams, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in hospitality, customer engagement, or data processing platforms.
• Background in multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments.

Why Join:

• Work on a high-impact project for a global hospitality leader.
• Be part of a strategic partnership between UST and AWS.
