• Experience building event-driven architectures and serverless or containerized solutions.

• Proven experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional, distributed teams.

• Availability to work flexible shift hours to support global communication when needed.

Nice to have:
