  • Experience with the software development life cycle and revision control tools such as git
  • Experience with web application security and authentication technologies
  • Knowledge of containerization technologies such as Docker
  • Strong work ethic, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills
  • Strong desire to learn, ability to follow clear instructions, and is not afraid to ask questions
  • A standard of writing code that is clean and easy to test, understand, and maintain
  • Familiarity with geographic and data visualization UI layers is an asset
  • Familiarity with AWS cloud technologies is an asset
  • Familiarity with marine or ocean environment and/or technology is an asset
