• Familiarity with Linux and an enthusiasm for learning more (we use Ubuntu but any distro is fine).

• Hands-on experience with public cloud platforms (we use AWS, but Azure/GCP are fine).
• Practical background in Infrastructure as Code and Configuration Management (e.g., Terraform, Puppet, Ansible, or similar).
• Relevant experience with Linux containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes).
• A solid understanding of fundamental technologies like TCP/IP, HTTP (transport, serving and load-balancing), and DNS, containerization & workload orchestration or datastores and streaming technologies.
