• A track record of owning reliability and operational outcomes in addition to feature delivery.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with Temporal or another durable workflow orchestration system.
• Experience designing multi-tenant platforms, control planes, or schedulers.
• Knowledge of VM lifecycle management, remote execution environments, or sandbox and isolation technologies.
• Experience with observability, reliability engineering, capacity planning, or infrastructure automation.
• Experience building AI agent platforms or developer execution environments.
• Experience building and operating GPU infrastructure, including GPU provisioning, scheduling, orchestration, or workload management.
