What we are looking for in you:
  • Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
  • Undergraduate degree in a technical subject or a compelling narrative about your alternative chosen path
  • Confidence to respectfully speak up, exchange feedback, and share ideas without hesitation
  • Track record of going above-and-beyond expectations to achieve outstanding results
  • Demonstrated personal interest in continuous learning and development
  • Practical knowledge of Linux, virtualisation, containers and networking
