• Experience performing production deployments and participating in structured release management processes.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfort working in a distributed, cross-timezone team environment with US-based counterparts.

Preferred Qualifications
