<li>Ability to reason from first principles and optimize systems for both memory-bound and compute-bound workloads.</li>
<li>Strong cross-functional communication skills, ownership, and a growth mindset.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Nice to Have</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Hands-on experience with distributed training frameworks and techniques such as PyTorch DDP/FSDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron, or NCCL.</li>
