Excellent knowledge of Git for building patching processes, releases, backports, and component updates.
Excellent knowledge of Debian, its devices, how it is developed, assembled, its features, its package manager, etc.
Excellent knowledge of the kernel, modern distributions and their components, how they interact with each other and how they form the system
Good knowledge of the Linux ecosystem. For example, you need to be able to configure nftables, then bootloader, then raise the systemd service, patch and assemble something, then make an encrypted device block, and so on.
Good knowledge of the system boot process, U-Boot, GRUB, initrd, systemd, EFI, file systems, block devices, how a bootable USB flash drive is formed.

Understanding C, understanding building tools for C, compilers and cross-compilers.
Will be a plus
Understanding build tooling for Rust, compilers and cross-compilers.
Understanding Java, JVM and its ecosystem.
