• Hands-on experience with containerization technologies, including Podman, and familiarity with container platforms such as OpenShift
• Working knowledge of software development practices and at least one general-purpose programming or scripting language
• Understanding of hardware fundamentals, including servers, storage, and networking, sufficient to integrate and troubleshoot software on physical systems
• Experience participating in Agile development cycles and working within cross-functional teams
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely
• Demonstrated broad, adaptable skill set with the ability to contribute across multiple technical areas as program needs shift
