- Automate repetitive release tasks and improve YouTrack workflows for better issue tracking.
- Gather requirements from development teams to turn pain points into smooth tooling improvements.
- Lead retrospectives after incidents to continuously refine the release process.
What you bring
- Proven hands-on experience building, maintaining, and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines.
