• Continuously upgrade systems and align build infrastructure with the latest ecosystem best practices

• Proven experience managing build architecture at massive scale (e.g., hundreds of thousands of builds)
• Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and similar

Preferred Qualifications
