• Deep experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and software delivery infrastructure for complex products
• Proven track record of building platform features and workflow improvements that significantly increased engineering velocity, reliability, or developer experience
• Experience making architectural decisions for internal platforms, including standardization, abstraction, and simplicity tradeoffs based on organizational maturity
• Working knowledge of secure software delivery practices such as least-privilege access, secrets management, policy enforcement, auditability, and software supply chain hardening
