Experience supporting AI/ML or data‑driven systems, with familiarity in model integration patterns and production AI usage (preferred)
Strong knowledge of DevOps practices, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and automated deployment pipelines
Experience implementing observability and reliability practices (monitoring, alerting, incident response, SLOs)
Demonstrated ability to lead and scale engineering teams, with a track record of developing senior technical talent
