  • Track record of designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform)
  • Deep understanding of security best practices in cloud and application delivery
  • Exposure to observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging, etc.)
  • Confident debugging and resolving issues in complex distributed systems
  • Background in B2B SaaS web applications, with familiarity in Node a plus
  • Able to operate autonomously within small, high-impact engineering teams
