  • Document integration activities, interface diagrams, bring-up steps, test plans, procedures, results, and technical status.
  • Use Jira, Confluence, Git, GitLab, Nexus, and TestRail for work tracking, documentation, version control, CI/CD, artifact management, and test management.
  • Participate in SAFe ceremonies, including PI Planning, sprint planning, reviews, and system demos.

  • Ability to work independently in ambiguous environments, take initiative, troubleshoot complex problems, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
  • Willingness and ability to travel approximately 25%–50% of the time.

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

That is how we know which CVs get called.
