  • Hands-on experience integrating large language models or other foundation models into production applications.
  • Ability to design, evaluate, and improve AI systems through experimentation, quantitative evaluation, and continuous iteration.
  • Familiarity with modern AI engineering patterns such as structured outputs, tool calling, context engineering, multimodal systems, or AI workflows.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including testing, observability, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of technically ambiguous projects from design through production.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.
  • Growth mindset and low ego, with a willingness to learn, adapt, and collaborate.
Preferred Skills and Qualifications
  • Experience building reusable AI capabilities or shared AI services.
  • Familiarity with deploying, optimizing, or serving open-source foundation models.
  • Knowledge of evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, or datasets for AI applications.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, cloud-native infrastructure, or distributed systems.
  • Experience developing production software in Rust.
  • Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multimodal AI, AI agents, or model orchestration.
  • Domain expertise building complex AI systems such as multimodal reasoning, long-running inference workflows, AI agents, or model orchestration.
