• Ensure compatibility and smooth functionality across multiple Linux versions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Debian). Manage builds for different architectures (e.g., x86, ARM) and ensure that the software works on modern Linux environments.
\n
• Automate the building and testing of Linux applications using tools like CMake, and Docker. Implement and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end testing frameworks within the CI pipeline.
\n
• Automate the creation of software packages (e.g., DEB, RPM) for easy installation across various Linux distributions and ensure compatibility with package managers like APT and YUM.
\n
• Leverage your deep knowledge of Linux internals to troubleshoot, optimize, and improve the performance of applications and services. You will handle issues related to system performance, memory management, file systems, and networking.
\n
• Work closely with other developers, testers, and operations teams to ensure smooth integration and deployment of software. Collaborate to implement and enforce best practices for coding, testing, and deployment in a Linux-based environment.

• Experience with package management on Linux systems (e.g., creating DEB and RPM packages) and automating the creation of software packages for easy distribution and installation via package managers.
\n
• Familiarity with Git and other version control systems, as well as dependency management tools like Maven, Gradle, Conan, or vcpkg for C++ libraries.
\n
• Experience in handling cross-architecture builds (e.g., x86 vs ARM) and ensuring software runs on multiple Linux distributions and versions.
