• Bring a strong problem-solving mindset to complex platform challenges, proactively identifying gaps and driving improvements across architecture, infrastructure, reliability, observability, security, and SaaS readiness
• Drive meaningful improvements in SDLC, engineering standards, and development processes to support high-quality and fast delivery
•  Act as a technical leader by setting direction, creating alignment, mentoring others, and raising the bar for technical excellence and accountability

• Practical experience with AI development tools such as Cursor or similar tools, with curiosity and passion for applying them in day-to-day engineering work

Nice to have

• Experience with CI/CD, observability, reliability, and production operations
