• Support CI/CD pipelines and release processes on Acquia Cloud
• Continuously improve performance, security, and maintainability of the platform

• Hands-on experience using GitLab for source control, CI/CD, and code review
• Experience working with Acquia Cloud environments
• Local development experience using DDEV or similar containerized tooling

• A proactive problem-solver who takes ownership from design through delivery
• A collaborative teammate who communicates clearly and constructively
