Experience using AI tools in software development workflows.
Knowledge of software development methodologies like Agile or Waterfall.
Experience with automated unit testing frameworks.
Familiarity with datacom concepts such as Ethernet, OSI Model, and TCP/IP.
Understanding of secure protocols (SSH/TLS), cryptographic algorithms, x.509 certificates, and encryption technologies.

Pay Range:

The annual pay range for this role is $72,000 - $115,000.
