- Ability to support GPU-enabled compute and containerized platform services in customer-controlled environments.
- Familiarity with virtualization, remote access, observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana), and infrastructure automation.
- Understanding of secure multi-tier deployments including gateways, service-to-service authentication, and operational telemetry.
- Korean language proficiency for local user support, vendor coordination, and customer communication.
- English sufficient for global IT collaboration, incident documentation, and cross-regional handoffs.

Desired Qualifications
