• Experience with CI/CD (CircleCI or equivalent), containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and a major cloud platform
• Operates well beyond basic AI tool usage - understands how to apply AI meaningfully across the full software development lifecycle, can evaluate and adopt new AI tooling with good judgment, and is able to establish practices and bring a team along
