• Bash scripting
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions, CircleCI or Jenkins
• Database, at least one of each SQL (preferably PostgreSQL) and NoSQL
• Thorough understanding of networking
• Ability to work independently and remotely
• Security aware

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field
• Sufficient real-world experience will be considered in lieu of a degree
