- Experience creating and delivering technical presentations or documentation, such as white papers, deployment guides, or architectural design reviews, for technical audiences.

- Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, specifically managing GPU clusters, model training pipelines, or AI-workload placement within Kubernetes.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Technical knowledge of high-performance networking technologies including RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), lossless Ethernet, or low-latency data center fabrics.

- Experience with public or private cloud platform services, including multi-tenancy, identity and access management, and observability frameworks.

- Operational experience with performance benchmarking.

- Experience working in agile, rapid-growth environments where product requirements and technical priorities evolve continuously.

Benefits:
