• Experience deploying LLMs, vision models, or other machine learning systems in production.

• Proficiency across multiple programming languages, including Python; experience with JavaScript or React is useful.

• Hands-on experience building RAG or similar pipelines for unstructured data and systems for structured data, such as query planning or semantic modeling.

• Experience with multiple infrastructure providers and a strong foundation in system security and resilience.
