  • Hands-on experience with GitOps workflows and modern CI/CD practices using GitLab CI and Flux
  • Experience with Gitflow branching strategies and structured release management workflows
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps practices including security scanning, static analysis, and policy enforcement in pipelines
  • Understanding of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, CVEs) and secure coding practices
  • Proficiency navigating and working within Linux server environments from the command line, including RPM-based distributions and Red Hat UBI containerized environments
  • Familiarity with version control best practices and collaborative development workflows
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • A CompTIA Security+ CE is ideal but not required
