  • Experience with network automation tools and scripting languages (Python, Ansible, Terraform).
  • Experience with async processing and message bus communications.
  • Experience in a test-driven development environment.
  • Strong abilities on the Linux command line, working with various flavors of Linux, and working with docker.
  • Strong understanding of applied statistics and the ability to code systems that identify outlier behavior in large systems.
