• In depth knowledge and familiarity with high-performance networking (InfiniBand, Ethernet).

• Practical experience with gRPC, gNMI, REST, and JSON for system management and telemetry.

• A proven track record of working on large-scale HW+SW converged systems (e.g., rack-scale computing or GPU clusters).
