  • Experience working with Apache ecosystem tools such as Kafka or Spark
  • Exposure to public cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Understanding of API-driven architecture, identity systems, and integration patterns
  • Experience supporting GPU, AI, or high-performance computing workloads
  • What You Will Be Doing
