  • Participate in PI planning and retrospectives to drive continuous improvement
  • Foster effective communication across global teams and disciplines

  • Strong background in observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch)
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, secure coding practices, and DevOps tooling
  • Bonus: Experience in payments or finance tech, including PCI compliance and high-volume transaction flows
