• Hands-on experience deploying and administering SLURM, including controller and database services, accounting, cgroup integration, and GPU resource selection.
• Strong Linux systems knowledge, including systemd, cgroups v2, namespaces, networking, filesystems, firewalls, kernel-module loading, and PAM session modules.
• Ability to investigate low-level system behaviour using tools such as strace and dmesg and develop evidence-based troubleshooting hypotheses.
• Operational experience with Kubernetes, including operators, custom resource definitions, networking interfaces, device plugins, and node-level debugging.

• Experience working in a field engineering team for an HPC integrator.
• Familiarity with CRIU, container runtimes, GPU driver internals, or distributed-training systems.
• Hands-on experience with AI workload orchestration tools such as NVIDIA Dynamo, Determined, Ray, Kueue, KServe, or comparable platforms.
• Contributions to open-source workload schedulers or job-management systems, such as SLURM, Flux, Torque, or PBS.
