• Advanced DevOps knowledge: CI/CD, automated deployments, monitoring, alerting
• Experience containerizing and orchestrating services with Docker and Kubernetes

Leadership & Execution

• Comfortable setting technical direction while staying hands-on
• Strong communicator who can explain complex systems clearly
• Experience mentoring engineers and elevating engineering standards
• Ability to operate in a fast-moving, startup environment

Nice to Have

• Experience building or deploying ML/AI systems (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.)
• Strong GCP background (bonus if you’ve worked across AWS/Azure as well)
• Familiarity with frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue
• Experience working in healthcare, health tech, or regulated industries
