KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Own branch cuts and release-candidate build qualification against the agreed RC matrix and blocking criteria.

TECHNICAL SKILLS
• Languages & scripting: C++, Python and shell/bash for log parsing, triage automation, and repro scripting.
• Build & release: CI/CD pipelines, release qualification gates, branch and version management across concurrent
stable/LTS lines.
