• Experience working in structured software development environments (e.g., Agile / Scrum).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control, and structured release practices.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work independently with ownership of technical deliverables.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.
