  • ● Gather requirements from development teams to turn pain points into smooth tooling improvements.
  • ● Communicate process changes to stakeholders and support teams through transitions.
  • ● Lead retrospectives after incidents to continuously refine our release process.

  • ● Comfort taking ownership of release decisions and managing trade-offs under deadline constraints.
  • ● Pragmatism when prioritizing build stability, release speed, and developer experience.
  • ● Proven hands-on experience building, maintaining, and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines (e.g., TeamCity, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar).

  • ● Practical experience working with Gradle or similar build systems.
  • ● Familiarity with Linux environments and shell scripting.
