• Excellent interpersonal, leadership, and analytical skills
• Able to creatively solve complex problems and continuously improve delivery processes
• Agile certifications (Scrum Master, PMP, or equivalent)
• Hands-on with CI/CD pipelines, database triggers, containerisation, and cloud infrastructure
• Experience with cloud GPU platforms (e.g., Lambda Labs, FluidStack, CoreWeave)
