• Negotiate Creativity tradeoffs with product when DataMind Technologies timelines and reality collide

• Design Teamwork APIs other Fort Smith, AR teams will still thank you for next year
• Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity

What You'll Bring

• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• Demonstrated Kubernetes expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
• Proven track record delivering results as a mid-level Release Engineer
• Real Kubernetes chops, plus the GitLab CI curiosity to keep growing
• 3+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• Proven Teamwork judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
• Cross-functional ease, from GitLab CI engineers to MongoDB marketers
