  • Experience with system architecture, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, production support, debugging, and security-first development practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical delivery, contribute directly to implementation, mentor engineers, review technical work, and coordinate third-party vendors or system integrators.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and explain complex technical concepts clearly.
