• Experience developing or maintaining software and automation in Go, C, or similar languages; familiarity with software development lifecycles and Agile.
• Experience with containers and GPU technologies.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, customer-focused communication, curiosity, and motivation to learn.

 

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with Kubernetes operators, custom resources, and Helm. Background in system administration or High Performance Computing
