Who You Are:

  • Strong understanding of the modern Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): an ability to read code and work on patching it, understand how GitGuardian's product integrates into SDLC workflows (familiarity with Python is a plus)
  • Kubernetes and deployment expertise: significant experience using Kubernetes in production, an understanding of cloud hosting (AWS, Azure, or GCP), deploying and debugging on-premise solutions, managing containers, investigating network issues, working with Linux servers, and writing shell scripts.
  • Analytical problem-solving skills: an ability to investigate and understand different customer environments, ask the right questions and troubleshoot effectively.
  • Customer-facing mindset: ability to explain complex technical topics in simple terms to non-technical stakeholders, with clear communication and patience.
