- Strong experience with build systems and dependency management at scale (e.g. Gradle, Maven, npm), including managing software migrations across hundreds of services
- A track record of leading technical initiatives across multiple teams, from defining the problem through design, delivery, and adoption
- Experience designing developer-facing products such as CLIs, SDKs, shared libraries, testing frameworks, or portals, with a focus on usability and adoption
- Hands-on experience with, and strong opinions about, AI-assisted development tools and agentic development practices
