8–12+ years building distributed systems, ML infrastructure, or developer platforms
Real Kubernetes experience: custom controllers, operators, scheduling, CRDs, workload orchestration at scale — not just deploying things to Kubernetes or cluster administration
You understand what makes researchers productive: code distribution matters, fast iteration cycles matter, workflows that don't require becoming infrastructure experts matter
Familiarity with training: how distributed jobs get scheduled, how ranks initialize, what breaks at scale
You've shipped infrastructure that other people rely on daily — not prototypes, production systems
Strong communicator who can work with customers and translate researcher complaints into system designs
Experience building internal ML platforms or research clusters at a company doing large-scale training
Familiarity with agentic AI: RL training with rollouts, agent evaluation, sandbox isolation for running untrusted code
Background with Slurm, Ray, or similar workload orchestration, and opinions on where they fall short
Experience with container runtimes, isolation (gVisor, Kata), or serverless platforms
OSS contributions to Kubernetes SIGs, Ray, PyTorch, or similar
