• Working knowledge of CI/CD tooling and enterprise SDLC practices, including version control, code reviews, automated testing, and change management
• Strong troubleshooting skills; able to form hypotheses, isolate root causes, and resolve complex or intermittent platform and infrastructure issues
• Clear and effective communicator, able to document designs and operational workflows and participate in asynchronous technical discussions
• Experience collaborating with and supporting application or service teams, helping them adopt platform capabilities and cloud best practices
