- Knows their way around a server—basic web server configuration, cron management, package management (apt or similar), basic shell familiarity, and other housekeeping skills – the Command Line, in other words
- Has an understanding of virtualization and experience with some flavor of virtual environments such as Docker or Vagrant
- Knows Git and adheres to a workflow, including deployment and continuous integration tools
- Has familiarity with task runners and can contribute to front-end workflows (Gulp, NPM, Grunt, Bower, etc.)

While not required, we’d love it if you had experience/familiarity with:
