• Experience developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

• Familiarity with cloud-native development and deployment practices

• Understanding of software architecture principles, modular design, and scalable application development

• Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and problem-solving skills

• Effective communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Nx monorepos in large-scale Angular environments

• Experience building internal developer platforms, tooling, or engineering enablement solutions
