  • Modern SDLC Know-How: Cloud-native (Azure/AWS), containerized development, APIs, CI/CD, IaC, automated testing, observability, and production support (SRE/SLA).
  • Proven Track Record: Shipping production solutions with measurable business impact.
  • Influence at All Levels: Experience in executive engagement and cross-functional influence, with the ability to translate technical work into business impact.
  • Collaborative Mindset: Eagerness to contribute to a mission-driven team. Enthusiasm for innovation and using technology to solve business challenges will help you thrive in this role.
  • Education: Computer Science, Engineering or related bachelor’s degree.
