  • Collaborate with Platform, Infrastructure, and SRE teams to ensure safe and predictable releases
  • Contribute to improving developer experience through scalable and reliable internal tooling
  • Participate in on-call rotations to support release tooling in production

  • You have experience with data pipelines or Scala (a plus, not required)

Where You'll Be
