Ideal skills the client is looking for:

  • You have a demonstrated history working in the financial services, specifically in the banking domain.
  • Strong experience working with technologies such as Java and React.
  • Strong understanding of cloud technologies such as Azure (but experience in AWS and GCP will be considered).
