Experience with SQL and relational databases like PostgreSQL
Experience with container platforms like Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker/Docker Compose, and Podman

An ability to troubleshoot system and performance issues quickly and accurately, leveraging your problem-solving skills to apply data and think critically.
A keen interest in participating in the software design and architecture process.
Excellent communication skills and experience presenting to stakeholders.
