• Proven expertise in designing, implementing, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines (e.g., using Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, Spinnaker).
• Deep understanding and hands-on experience with developer tooling and ecosystems (e.g., Git, Docker, Kubernetes, various programming language build tools, static analysis tools).
• Extensive experience with monitoring and alerting platforms, particularly Datadog, including dashboarding, alert configuration, and custom metric integration.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Go, Bash).

• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for optimizing complex systems.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with diverse technical teams.
• A proactive and empathetic approach to improving the developer experience.
