- You can automate small tasks with scripts (Bash, PowerShell, or Python).
- You understand Git workflows (branches, pull requests, reviews).
- You’ve touched build/test automation in at least one ecosystem (e.g., .NET, C++, Delphi, Java, Node.js).
- You’ve seen code quality tooling (SonarQube or similar).
- You have a basic grasp of cloud/infrastructure concepts (what environments are, what deployment means, why permissions matter).
Nice to have (not required)
- Experience with Azure DevOps organizations/pipelines/boards.
- Any exposure to GitHub Enterprise administration or repo management.
- Docker basics.
- Interest in AWS or cloud platforms.
