Source code and artefact management using GitLab and Nexus, alongside CI/CD delivery using GitLab CI.
Infrastructure as Code and automation using tools such as Ansible, Terraform and Packer.
Programming and scripting using languages such as Go, Java, Python or JavaScript.
Containerisation and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
Deploying and maintaining cyber security tooling.
Administering Linux and Windows operating systems.
Experience with IBM engineering lifecycle tools, including DOORS Next, Rhapsody and Engineering Test Management, would be advantageous.
