• Experience upgrading or migrating build and deployment pipelines (Azure Dev Ops or equivalent).
• Understanding of infrastructure modernization efforts such as pipeline migrations, environment isolation, and platform compliance requirements.
• Proven ability to improve developer productivity by strengthening build reliability, test pipelines, and automation.

• Design, develop, implement, test, and maintain business and computer applications software or specialized utility programs.
• Work on modernization of services, code base, and infrastructure, focusing on tasks related to business logic.
• Specific tasks include migrating project definitions to new standards, cleaning up source code warnings, upgrading NuGet packages, and modernizing old services to use updated authentication and authorization methods.

• Exposure to large or legacy enterprise systems undergoing modernization.
• Experience improving test tooling or developer experience beyond pure feature delivery.
