• Demonstrated ability to debug complex issues across the stack, from API behavior down to node and network‑level root causes
• A track record of designing for reliability, correctness, and clear failure semantics in systems other engineers depend on
• Strong written and verbal communication; comfort building consensus with internal stakeholders
• Experience with Kubernetes internals or contributions: kube‑scheduler / scheduling framework, apiserver, etcd, client‑go, controller‑runtime, or similar
• Experience building or operating cluster schedulers or batch systems (e.g., Kueue, Volcano, Slurm, or in‑house equivalents)
• Background scaling control planes or coordination systems (etcd, ZooKeeper, Consul, or large DNS/service‑mesh deployments)
• Familiarity with ML infrastructure: GPUs, TPUs, or Trainium; gang scheduling; topology‑aware placement; collective networking such as NCCL
• Experience with GCP and/or AWS, including GKE/EKS internals and Infrastructure as Code
• Low‑level systems experience such as Linux kernel tuning, cgroups, or eBPF
