- Proven success in mentoring engineers, leading technical projects, and influencing engineering strategy across teams.

- Experience contributing to and collaborating with open source communities.

- Skilled in applying a data-driven approach to reliability, optimization, and continuous improvement.

- Excellent communicator able to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Hands-on experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, PromQL), CI/CD pipelines, and operating large fleets of GPU servers.

- Track record of leading incident response, postmortems, and driving robust service reliability.

### Nice To Have Skills

- Working knowledge of Kafka, ClickHouse and CRDB.

- DMTF, RedFish APIs, and GPU servers.

### Compensation
