+ Solid Linux troubleshooting skills across container runtimes, networking, storage, and resource management.
+ Experience embedding container builds, security scans, and automated checks into modern CI/CD release pipelines.
+ Daily comfort using AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex) to accelerate development and debugging.
Preferred Qualifications (Optional Skills):
+ Experience with OpenStack infrastructure and its containerized services.
+ Familiarity with container vulnerability scanners (e.g., Trivy, Grype, Clair ).
+ Exposure to software supply-chain security (SBOM generation, Cosign/Sigstore image signing, and provenance).
