  • Hands-on experience in Linux systems administration and containerization with enterprise distributions like RHEL, Oracle Linux, or CentOS.
  • 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.
  • Preferred experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Infrastructure roles.
