  • Proficiency in Python or Go for scripting and tooling.
  • Solid understanding of Linux fundamentals including file systems, process management, and package management.
  • Working knowledge of networking concepts such as TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, and firewall configuration.
  • Experience with version control systems like Git and configuration management tools like Puppet or Ansible.
