- Production programming experience in a general-purpose language such as Python, Go, or Rust.
- Experience with Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi.
- Understanding of ML infrastructure and supporting interconnects.
- Experience shipping software through hyperscaler marketplaces or managed-model platforms.
- Background in security, compliance, data residency, regulated environments, or sovereign clouds.
