• Experience building internal platform capabilities such as deployment systems, monitoring/observability tooling, or infrastructure automation.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD principles, pipeline design, and operational best practices.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate complexity and make sound technical decisions.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work across teams and disciplines.
• A mindset of ownership and continuous improvement, with a passion for creating scalable and developer-friendly systems.
