• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical challenges, delivering elegant and efficient solutions
• Contribute to customer success through technical support and solution implementation
• Advocate for and implement continuous improvement across product, process, and DevOps pipelines

• 6+ years of experience in backend development and/or DevOps engineering (more senior profiles welcome)
• Expert-level Python development skills with a strong track record in microservices
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Spinnaker, or equivalent) and test automation
• Practical knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, REST APIs, and S3
• Strong understanding of modern DevOps practices
• Coaching, conflict resolution, stakeholder management skills
• Excellent communication skills in English, with a passion for collaboration and mentoring
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies
