  • Connectivity: Experience using REST APIs to interact with web services or automate system tasks.
  • Hardware Knowledge: Deep knowledge of PC/Server components (GPUs, RAM types, CPU architectures) and familiarity with Data Center environments.
  • Analytical Rigor: Excellent troubleshooting skills with the ability to dig through system log files to identify root causes.
  • Operational Mindset: Ability to make sound, rapid decisions in a fast-paced trading environment.
  • Critical Thinking: Work with AI based tools, checking to ensure that they are doing what they are supposed to. Avoiding pitfalls of just trusting what the machine says.

Preferred (The \"Nice to Haves\")
  • Linux: Familiarity with Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu/CentOS) administration.

  • Physical Ability: Comfort performing occasional physical work, including equipment moves and data center cable management.
