Overview Location-Montreal, CA (look for local profiles only) No. of days-3 days in office is must in a week JD- Summary of Key Focus Areas The ideal candidate must be an expert in Python, deeply comfortable in Linux environments, and proficient in Kubernetes/OpenShift. Unlike general DevOps roles, this profile emphasizes security hardening and identity management (OIDC/SAML) as foundational requirements. While "Nice to Have," the preference for Graph Databases and Big Data stacks suggests a role that interacts with complex data pipelines and non-traditional storage architectures. Tips: Look for candidates who list Python as a primary language for automation/tooling, not just basic scripting. Mentioning "Flux" in candidate skillset is a major green flag. It indicates familiarity with modern "GitOps" workflows, which is more advanced than traditional CI/CD. Look for terms like "TCP/IP Tuning," "IPtables," or "Kernel Hardening". This separates a true Systems Engineer from a generalist developer. If a candidate has "SPARQL" on their resume, they are an immediate priority. This is a very rare skill and indicates deep knowledge of the graph databases.
