• Basic Scripting: Exposure to or a strong interest in learning scripting languages (Python, Bash, or PowerShell) to automate repetitive tasks.

• Reliability: A dependable team player who follows established procedures, meets deadlines, and communicates progress clearly.
• Communication: Good verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical steps clearly to colleagues.
• Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.
