  • Strong architectural judgment with a security-first mindset.
  • Experience establishing R&D best practices, including experimentation frameworks and technical evaluation criteria.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, and secure software supply chains.
  • Hands-on expertise in one or more of: Java, Node.js, Go (Golang), C / C++, or JavaScript / TypeScript.
