  • Advanced Linux systems engineering skills (RedHat, Ubuntu/Debian)
  • Understanding of high-performance storage protocols (NVMe-oF, iSCSI, Fibre Channel) with the ability to effectively collaborate with network engineers on backend fabrics like RoCE and InfiniBand
  • Familiarity with cluster backend storage integrating into HPC and AI training environments
  • Demonstrated experience with infrastructure automation, configuration management, and version control (Git)
  • Exceptional communication skills with a proven track record of influencing cross-functional technical teams and managing vendor relationships
