- Software architecture, with a micro-services focus.
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform/Terragrunt)

- Excellent communication skills - you will need to explain your ideas to your team.
- The ability to get things done - we don't like to micromanage, but we expect you to do what is right.
- A tendency to be creative - innovation is of high value at Entersekt.
- A preference to work in a team rather than by yourself.
- An attitude of taking pride in your code and taking ownership.

We place a lot of value on how we treat prospective employees and appreciate the time and effort that goes into job hunting. That is why we aim to keep the hiring process as quick and seamless as possible while ensuring the best possible fit for both you and the company.
