•    You’re familiar with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
•    You have experience with TDD/BDD approaches to software development, and a “shift-left” mentality

•    You’re very comfortable with Linux and Linux-like environments, like WSL

•    You’ve got a good working knowledge of cloud computing
•    You understand the importance of getting DevOps right when operating large, cloud-native systems and don’t try to offload it to the “pipelines team”
•    You’re able to interact with a diverse group of people, both technical and non-technical
•    You’re able to be productive in a globally distributed team through self-discipline and self-motivation, delivering according to a schedule, and to mentor and motivate others to do the same
