  • Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into scalable, incremental technical solutions.
  • Experience working in Agile, cross-functional product development teams.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical topics clearly to engineers and immediate stakeholders.
  • Good ownership of production components, including reliability, observability, incident response and continuous improvement.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
