- Proven experience in a DevOps, Build/Release, or CI/CD engineering role.
- Expertise with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins), version control (Git, Perforce), and containerization (Docker).
- Strong experience maintaining build systems for large C/C++ projects using tools like make, CMake, and BitBake (Yocto).
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Shell, or Bash, with a solid understanding of C/C++.
- Experience leveraging containers and virtual machines to create isolated and portable build environments.
- Excellent communication skills with strong attention to detail.
Bonus Points (Preferred Skills):
