• Comfortable with configuring OS images from scratch
• Comfortable with building software from the source code, understanding the concept of dependencies, libraries, and linking

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Performance optimization skills in Linux
Nice to Have
• AWS: hands-on experience with production environment
