• Strong understanding of software release engineering principles
• Strong understanding of CI/CD systems and deployment automation
• Experience with modern build systems, artefact repositories, and containerisation (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
• Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to debug and resolve build, packaging, or deployment issues quickly
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for working in a distributed, async-first environment
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across multiple teams and time zones
