- Practical experience with containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Understanding of CI/CD design patterns at scale (pipeline orchestration, caching, parallelization, multi-repo/monorepo strategies)
- Experience with GitHub workflows (branch protection, PR checks, automation, org-level standards)
- Understanding of security concepts in CI/CD (secrets management, IAM, OIDC, supply-chain security)
Leadership & Ownership:
- Experience leading or mentoring engineers (as a manager or technical lead)
- Ability to balance hands-on technical work with team leadership
- Experience working with cross-functional engineering teams
- Ability to drive technical standards and adoption across teams
