• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and performance optimization skills in multi-environment setups.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear documentation and explain automation workflows
• Experience with test automation, benchmark creation, or complex systems evaluation is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with modern software data formats (e.g., JSON, YAML) and version-controlled codebases.
