Nice to have
- Current GitHub Administration or Atlassian administration certification (e.g., GH-100, ACP-120).
- Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), CompTIA Linux+, or LPIC-1.
- Experience in a hardware, semiconductor, or networking engineering environment, including familiarity with lab equipment such as PCIe test cards and out-of-band management tools (IPMI, BMC).
- Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g., Ansible, SaltStack) for provisioning lab or test systems.
- Experience with identity federation (SSO/SAML/SCIM) via providers such as Okta, Entra ID, or FreeIPA.
