- Infrastructure automation and configuration management experience (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Puppet).
Nice to have:
- Deep knowledge of a modern observability stack (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic Stack, Vector, AlertManager).
- Experience with a variety of database platforms (e.g., PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, MSSQL, Redis, FoundationDB).
- Familiarity with specific middleware (e.g., Kafka, Consul), HPC schedulers (e.g., Slurm), Kubernetes, or workflow orchestrators (e.g., Airflow, Prefect).
- Experience with on-premise deployments of development tools like GitLab, Artifactory, CICD, or JupyterHub.
- Knowledge of other programming languages such as Golang, Rust, or JavaScript.
- Experience with advanced software engineering concepts, API development, and creating Kubernetes Operators.
