  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), DevOps practices, and production observability
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and sound technical judgment
  • Excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and influence engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building platforms in the RMM, security, IT management, or enterprise SaaS domains
