- Drive continuous improvement initiatives and defect remediation in partnership with IT and business stakeholders
Requirements:
- 7+ years of senior software engineering leadership experience, with people management skills in high-growth or high-availability environments
- 3+ years of deep hands-on background in CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Harness), cloud platforms (Azure, GCP) and containerization (Kubernetes, Docker)
- 3+ years of experience optimizing complex build systems and branching/merging strategies
- 3+ years of experience bridging the gap between engineering depth and business impact
- 3+ years of experience focused on automation and customer service excellence
- Bachelor's degree from accredited university or equivalent work experience (HS diploma + 4 years relevant experience)
