- Contribute to developer productivity by improving reliability and reducing friction in release processes
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in computer science/engineering or a related discipline
- 6+ years of professional experience with technical infrastructure and software engineering
- Strong programming skills in at least one object-oriented language (Java, C++, etc.) and one scripting language (Python, Bash, etc.)
- Experience building reusable CI and deployment systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
- Hands-on experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Experience managing cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across the stack
- Effective collaborator with excellent communication skills
- EAS/Expo or mobile release experience is a plus
