• You bring a positive mindset without an ego. You're always ready to help junior team members and learn from the more senior ones.

• Proficient in languages like Python, Go, and Bash and tooling like Ansible, Jinja and Net Box.
• You're willing (and excited) to containerize just about anything in Kubernetes.
• Deep familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, Alert manager, gNMI, and SNMP.
• Deep understanding and working knowledge of Linux.
• You've worked with a variety of networking platforms, including:
• NVIDIA Cumulus Linux
• Nokia SR OS and SR Linux
