- Demonstrable experience with CI/CD systems (eg Gitlab).
- Past experience involving a SaaS company in a 24/7 production environment, where you were part of an on-call rotation. (Experience with on-premises deployments is nice to have too)
- Proficiency in coding, and able to learn new languages quickly and efficiently.
