- 8+ years of experience in software or infrastructure engineering, with meaningful depth in platform, DevOps, or infrastructure domains

- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, manage performance thoughtfully, and build teams that are engaged and growing
- Exceptional project management and organizational skills, including the ability to break down complex infrastructure work, anticipate risks, and deliver consistently high-quality outcomes
