• Fixing a broken build of a cross-language application should not be an issue for you.
• Finding your way around integrating CPython with C libraries and Java will definitely come handy.

• Proficiency in Linux internals, including namespaces, containerization options and their tradeoffs, process management, file and directory management, memory management is crucial.
• Ability to benchmark and integrate commodity server hardware by both cloud and bare metal providers.
• Good presentation and mentoring skills.
