  • Make the most efficient use of DevOps technologies such as Docker, implement the right tool for the job when necessary;
  • Maintain, improve, develop microservices to deliver cutting edge functionality as part of the EGA Data API;
  • Contribute to an environment that enables our engineers to build, release, and operate their own microservices;
