• Strong understanding of software quality, observability, scalability, and operational excellence.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools to improve development workflows and engineering outcomes.
• The ability to influence engineering standards and drive continuous improvement.

We Do Have A Few Requirements To Check
