* Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate business requirements into scalable solutions.

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.

* Experience in Agile environments, comfortable working in iterative and collaborative ways to deliver value quickly.

Preferred Qualifications:

* AWS certification(s) or relevant certifications in Terraform, Kubernetes, or Java.

* Access Perkbox, a global employee rewards platform offering discounts, perks, and wellness resources.

* Participate in a generous employee referral program.

* A highly collaborative and collegial environment with opportunities for career advancement.

* Be encouraged to take bold steps and embrace a mindset of experimentation.

* Choose your preferred device, PC or Mac.

Diversity & Inclusion:

Here at Amber Labs, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace for all. Our commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion includes:

* Valuing the unique experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of all employees and creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.

* Prohibiting all forms of harassment, bullying, discrimination, and victimisation and promoting a culture of dignity and respect for all.

* Educating all new hires on our Diversity and Inclusion policies and ensuring they are aware of their rights and responsibilities to create a safe and inclusive workplace.

* By taking these steps, we are dedicated to building a workplace that reflects and celebrates the diversity of our employees and communities.
