• Strong Linux system administration and troubleshooting skills.
• Networking fundamentals and common troubleshooting tools.
• Production debugging experience using logs, metrics, and command-line tools.
• Server, network, GPU, or data center hardware troubleshooting experience.
• Practical scripting or automation experience in Python, Go, Bash, or similar.
• Clear communication, documentation, collaboration, and on-call readiness.
• Curiosity to learn specialized GPU interconnect technologies such as NVLink, NVSwitch, and InfiniBand.

• BMC, Redfish, IPMI, firmware lifecycle management, or hardware management APIs.
• NVLink, NVSwitch, NVIDIA GPU platforms, NVUE, SONiC, or network operating systems.
