- Experience with Rust and Docker.
- Experience with local Kubernetes environments such as K3s or Minikube.
- Experience with Git, Linux, and command-line environments.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Bazel or other hermetic/reproducible build systems.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integration testing frameworks.
- Experience with observability systems such as Prometheus, MQTT, and Grafana.
- Experience with Quantum computing concepts.
