- Advanced experience with Git-based workflows such as GitHub, including pull requests, code reviews, and repository automation.
- Experience with work-tracking and planning tools such as Jira, Linear, or similar systems.
- Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts and tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
- Due to collaboration with global teams, flexibility in working hours (including late afternoon meetings) will be required.
AI Skills / Knowledge:
- Strong experience using AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) with awareness of responsible AI practices including security, privacy, bias, and traceability.
- Proven ability to design and operate production automation using Python and REST APIs.
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining automation pipelines using Git-based CI/CD systems.
