Strong background in Linux system administration and management.
Deep knowledge of container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and/or SLURM.
Understanding of performance, security, and reliability in complex distributed systems.
Familiarity with system level architecture, data synchronization, fault tolerance, and state management.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Proficiency in designing and building widespread distributed networks.
Experience managing large-scale distributed systems independently of cloud providers.
Extensive expertise in datacenter operations and GPU hardware.
Hands-on experience working with RDMA networking.
