Deployment Logistics: Experience with AWS StackSets for managing resources across multiple accounts and regions.
Version Control: Expert use of Git; submit functional code via Merge Requests and participate in active peer code reviews.
Troubleshooting: Ability to interpret GitLab pipeline logs to identify and resolve basic build or test failures independently.
