Accelerate and expand CI coverage to improve correctness and AI verifiability
Partner closely with product teams to accelerate build & deployment of critical products (where your agents can't yet!)

7+ years of software engineering experience building large-scale backend or platform systems
Strong fluency in JVM languages such as Kotlin or Java
