• Write tests, code comments, and short design docs; participate in code reviews.
• Add basic metrics and dashboards; assist with alarms and runbooks.
• Follow on-call runbooks and learn incident response in a guided rotation.
• Contribute to performance experiments (e.g., request batching, concurrency, caching) with guidance.

• BS/MS in CS, EE, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Foundations in data structures, algorithms, and networked services.
  
  Experience with Python or Go (C++ a plus) and Linux fundamentals;
  Git/CI basics.
  Exposure to containers and Kubernetes (coursework or projects welcome).
  Curiosity about GPU inference concepts (micro-batching, KV cache, streaming).

• Internship or project that deployed a microservice or ML inference demo.
• Coursework/research with PyTorch or Tensor Flow; simple CUDA projects a plus.
• Familiarity with Grafana/Prometheus/Open Telemetry or similar tooling.
