Responsibilities

  • Port the Internet-in-a-Box software to the Termux platform on Android devices.
  • Develop, modify and implement Ansible scripts to ensure smooth installation and configuration on Android.
  • Collaborate with the team to address technical challenges related to mobile environments, such as resource constraints and OS security limitations.
  • Contribute to the open-source community by submitting pull requests and documenting your work.

Required Skills

  • Proficiency in modern DevOps practices with a solid understanding of software development and deployment lifecycles.
  • Strong experience with Git and GitHub, including branching, merging, and managing pull requests.
  • Experience with Ansible for automation and configuration management.
  • Ability to write clean and efficient Bash scripts.
  • Proficiency in Python for creating automation tools and solving complex problems.

Nice to Have
