7+ years of experience in software development using one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, C, Go, Rust), with 3 of those years leading projects
Expertise in advanced deployment and testing methodologies
Proficiency in upstream patchset management for large open source projects, including rebasing, troubleshooting, and community participation
Strong ability to diagnose, design, and develop high-performance networking applications.
Experience maintaining Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, etc) with a strong focus on enabling and empowering other teams through optimized systems and support.
Experience with OCI containers (e.g., Docker) particularly in overcoming challenges related to container registry management and creating scalable frameworks to support development teams.
Proven ability to design and implement broadly scoped work such as for a major refactor, new service, feature used by key accounts or other impactful changes

Experience in Linux kernel development, including maintenance of Linux kernel subsystems.
Large scale fleet management and release techniques.
