Ideal candidates hold a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field with 5+ years of industry software development experience. Required skills include proficiency with bash/Python scripting in Linux environments, Docker, Infrastructure-as-Code concepts, and hands-on experience with major cloud providers (GCP preferred).
