Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in DevOps, systems administration, cloud operations, or a related field.
• Experience managing and troubleshooting Linux environments.
• Proficiency with version control systems (e.g. git).
• Hands-on experience running and troubleshooting containerized workloads in Kubernetes (or Docker, Nomad, etc.).
