• Linux and system debugging skills (storage, performance, automation)
• Strong software development skills in Python (preferred) or another language; ability to design maintainable services/tools (tests, code review, packaging)
• Git and modern development workflow experience (PRs, branching strategies, code review)
• CI/CD expertise (Jenkins or similar) including pipeline design, shared libraries/templates, scaling executors, and debugging flaky pipelines
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work well as part of a team, and to guide and lead the team when needed

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Familiarity with Cloudbees CI
• HPC/EDA compute experience: LSF (or Slurm), job efficiency, queue policies, and filesystem/perf considerations
• Metrics collection and Visualization/monitoring tooling (e.g. Grafana, Diskover, Dynatrace)
• Artifact repositories and dependency management (Artifactory) and build caching strategies
