Notes for Hiring Team

Target candidates who started as Java developers and have moved into ProdOps, application support, SRE, or DevOps-oriented production support roles.
The candidate should be able to troubleshoot application issues not only monitor infrastructure or route tickets to other teams.
GitLab pipeline experience should be hands-on, including supporting deployments and making pipeline changes where needed.
Look for clear examples of production incidents handled, root-cause analysis performed, and issues resolved end to end.
