• Document reusable patterns, system behaviors, and deployment frameworks for internal teams.
• Participate in planning, refinement, and agile cycles to support iterative delivery.

Required Skills & Experience

• Hands‑on experience with Contentful APIs, webhooks, SDKs, app framework, GraphQL, and schema migration tooling.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines and content deployment workflows across multiple environments.
• Familiarity with cloud‑native delivery—edge computing, caching, observability tooling, and platform governance.
