- Installing, configuring, and administering Linux operating systems, with a focus on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Rocky Linux
- Building, deploying, and managing containerized applications using Podman and related container technologies
- Supporting container orchestration and platform environments such as OpenShift
- Troubleshooting integration issues that span software, operating system, and hardware layers, and drive them to resolution
- Participating in Agile development cycles as needed, including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives
- Collaborating with developers, systems engineers, and hardware teams to define integration approaches and resolve technical dependencies
- Documenting configurations, integration procedures, and lessons learned to support repeatable deployments
