Experience building Kubernetes components (e.g. controllers, operators)
Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pulsar, or similar)
Background in high-performance computing, Kubernetes, or workflow orchestration systems
Experience running distributed systems in cloud environments (AWS preferred)
Familiarity with monitoring/logging tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana)
Experience with job scheduling systems (e.g. SLURM or similar)
