You’ll Thrive in This Role If You...
- 4+ years of professional team-based software development experience, with at least some experience building ML/AI-powered features or systems in production.
- Experience working with scalable, product-based environments, where you’ve shipped user-facing features and care about latency, reliability, and real-world constraints.
- Solid understanding of backend systems and data modeling, enough to build reliable text retrieval, integrate with existing services, and reason about data quality, privacy, and access control in AI workflows.
- Passion for applied AI, including prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings/vector search, LLM evaluation, fine-tuning, and model serving.
- Strong collaboration skills and an open-minded approach to exchanging ideas.
- Fluent in English and a team player who values diverse perspectives.
