Listing verified on the platform’s official board. Last checked September 25, 2026.

Evaluate the quality, correctness, and production-readiness of Kubernetes tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab's models. You'll assess cluster-operations scenarios, manifest correctness, and failure-mode troubleshooting — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years hands-on production Kubernetes experience (EKS/GKE/AKS or self-managed)

• Deep understanding of cluster internals: CNI/DNS/ingress, PV/PVC storage, RBAC, and failure modes (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, scheduling/eviction)

• Experience authoring and reviewing manifests / Helm charts and debugging live cluster incidents

• Proficiency in Go, Python, or TypeScript

Preferred Qualifications

• CKA / CKAD certification

• Service-mesh, autoscaling, and observability experience (Istio, HPA, Prometheus/Grafana)

• Prior SRE / platform-engineering or task-grading experience
