• (Master’s in CS preferred)
• Strong foundation in Java and object-oriented programming.
• Understanding of data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.
• Exposure to or interest in distributed systems, real-time processing, or fraud detection is a plus.
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, SQL, and development tools like Git.
• Strong communication skills and an eagerness to learn from and contribute to the team.
