- Hands-on experience with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Expertise in scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell) for automation.
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI) and Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.
Benefits
- Competitive salary package commensurate with experience and skills.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
- A generous budget for professional development, including certifications and training courses.
