Your experience with cloud platforms like AWS is extensive — you understand how to leverage cloud services to enhance application performance and scalability. You are proficient in containerization technologies such as Docker — you know how to create and manage containers to streamline development and deployment processes. You have a solid understanding of REST API design principles — you can create APIs that are efficient, secure, and easy to use. You thrive in a mission-driven environment — you are excited about contributing to climate action through technology and are eager to work with a team that shares your values. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement.
