Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

5+ years of experience in building, deploying, and scaling machine learning models in production environments

Experience deploying Generative AI models in production environments, with a strong understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI Agents, and expertise in prompt engineering techniques

Proven experience with the full product lifecycle, taking models from R&D to deployment in fast-paced environments

Experience working in a product-based company, preferably within a startup environment with early-stage technical product development

Strong expertise in Python and SQL, along with experience in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

Experience with real-time data processing, anomaly detection, and time-series forecasting in production

Experience working with large datasets and big data technologies like Spark and Kafka to build scalable solutions

First-principles thinking and excellent problem-solving skills, with a proactive approach to addressing challenges

A self-starter mentality, with the ability to take ownership of projects from end to end and work autonomously to drive results
