  • Practical experience designing, managing, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, using tools such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI, ensuring seamless integration of SonarQube and continuous code quality monitoring.
  • Solid knowledge of additional static analysis and application security tools, including platforms like Checkmarx and Snyk, used to strengthen vulnerability detection and secure development practices.
  • Familiarity with modern DevOps practices and Agile methodologies, contributing effectively within fast-paced, collaborative development environments.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, supporting developers, DevOps engineers, and security specialists.
