  • Solide Linux-Grundlagen und Sicherheit auf der Kommandozeile
  • Praktische Erfahrung mit Containern (Docker) sowie grundlegendes Verstandnis von Kubernetes - ausreichend, um Workloads zu deployen, zu inspizieren und Probleme zu beheben
  • Sicherer Umgang mit Git sowie einer Skriptsprache wie Python oder Bash
  • Strukturierte, analytische Arbeitsweise und Freude daran zu verstehen, warum etwas nicht funktioniert-
  • Hohe Bereitschaft, sich kontinuierlich in neue Technologien und Themen einzuarbeiten und Verantwortung zu ubernehmen
  • Gute Englischkenntnisse fur die Kommunikation im internationalen Umfeld

Bevorzugte Qualifikationen:

  • Praktische Erfahrung im Betrieb von Kubernetes-Clustern, idealerweise inklusive Migrationen (z. B. Rancher Kubernetes)
  • Erfahrung mit GitOps-Workflows (ArgoCD) und CI/CD mit GitHub Actions
  • Kenntnisse in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
  • Erfahrung mit Go oder die Fahigkeit, altere Ruby-Skripte zu lesen
  • Erste Beruhrungspunkte mit Software Composition Analysis oder Supply-Chain-Security-Tools (Blackduck, Sonatype Lifecycle o. a.)
  • Erfahrung im Halbleiterumfeld
  • Erfahrung in KI-gestutzter Softwareentwicklung und im Umgang mit AI-Tools im Entwickler-Workflow
