• Strong experience developing applications using Java, with a strong understanding of object-oriented programming principles (concurrency, collections).
• Hands-on with Spring Boot and Hibernate/JPA.
• Experience building RESTful APIs and writing unit/integration tests.
• Strong SQL and data modeling; hands-on with relational databases (e.g., MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).
• Knowledge of TCP/IP networking fundamentals.

• Working knowledge of Git and CI/CD practices; IDEs: IntelliJ or Eclipse.
• BSCS or MSCS (or related technical field) with 5-6+ years of experience developing and supporting multithreaded applications in a Linux/Unix environment.

Bonus Skills

• Linux networking tools (iptables, ipset, ebtables), routing/bridging/VLANs, and packet capture/analysis.
• Active Directory integration experience (AD/LDAP/Kerberos), Windows domain concepts, service accounts/GPOs.
• Cloud APIs: experience automating or integrating with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and/or OCI (SDKs/CLIs for compute, storage, networking, IAM).
• vSphere/ESXi for VM lifecycle management (provisioning, snapshots, virtual networking).
• VirtualBox experience, especially using the VBox CLI (vboxmanage) for automation.
• Containerization & orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes; event streaming: Kafka.
• Experience with Bitbucket or GitLab (repos, merge requests, CI pipelines, permissions).
• Cybersecurity domain experience (threat detection, hardening, threat research).
• Experience working on Agile software development projects.
