- High-level programming languages (C/C++, C#, Java), container technologies (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes), OpenText Dimensions CM, MySQL and Oracle databases, or network services (NIS, LDAP, NFS, DNS, SNMP, FTP, NTP) are considered an advantage
- University degree (Master's or equivalent) in a relevant discipline, or equivalent proven experience, with at least 5 years of relevant experience
- Strong technical documentation skills and effective written and verbal communication in English
