Demonstrated success leading a similar developer platform, CI/CD, engineering productivity, or SDLC transformation in a modern SaaS environment, with measurable before-and-after results

Recent hands-on technical credibility; you should be able to speak concretely about meaningful platform, automation, or developer-productivity work you have personally delivered

Strong technical depth in CI/CD systems, build and release workflows, developer tooling, and internal platform capabilities

Solid experience with Kubernetes, cloud-native platforms, and distributed systems in a modern multitenant SaaS environment
