• Enthusiasm for software testing and familiarity with unit testing (pytest)
• Proficiency building and troubleshooting containerised services using Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience managing environments using infrastructure configuration tools (Ansible, Terraform)
  
  

In addition to the above, the following desirable skills and experience will set you apart:

• Experience with cloud infrastructure in one or more of the following platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP
• At least two years’ experience in a network engineering or similar role
• Strong foundational knowledge of networking fundamentals: OSI, IP protocols, dynamic routing, firewalls, DNS, HTTP, BGP, MPLS
