• Excellent communication and documentation skills
• Passion for automation and scalable infrastructure

Desired:

• Python, Bash, Perl or JavaScript (Angular) experience
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Git and Jenkins
• Experience with load balancer technologies (e.g., F5) and DNS/DHCP platforms (e.g., Infoblox)
• Working knowledge of API gateways (e.g., Apigee, Mulesoft) and REST/SOAP APIs
