opportunities to measure and improve our engineers productivity, in order to
increase our engineering velocity and bring value to our customers more

* Strong working knowledge of Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, DevOps principles and techniques.
* Experience with infrastructure cloud providers, with a strong preference for AWS.
