• Help ensure the long-term robustness, security, and reliability of our platforms by following and contributing to established engineering standards
• Work closely with your team to build scalable, production-grade solutions that align with Costa's platform strategy
Who you are
It's your unique ingredients we're interested in:
• Solid understanding of platform and cloud engineering principles, with a willingness to grow your technical skills in a structured team environment
• Experience working with Azure Cloud, Azure DevOps, Web Services, and Databases
• Ability to communicate clearly within a development team and contribute constructively to technical discussions
• Comfortable working in an agile environment, picking up backlog items and collaborating towards shared goals
• Experience with AI & ML workloads is a plus; familiarity with Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, or Databricks is considered an advantage
