4+ years of professional software/ML experience.
Strong proficiency in Python as your primary programming language, with Java experience considered a plus.
Solid foundation in software engineering and system design.
Cloud services experience, AWS or equivalent.
Proven ability to build/operate APIs and microservices at scale.
Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration in fast-paced environments.
Nice to Have:
Hands-on with LLMs (GPT/Claude/Mistral), fine-tuning, RAG, and prompt engineering.
Experience with agent frameworks (LangChain, Bedrock, OpenAI tools/function calling).
Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow).
Vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) and embedding-based retrieval.
Real-time AI apps (chatbots, voice, copilots); multi-agent or autonomous reasoning systems.
Why Join our team:
Shape the future of agentic, production-grade conversational AI at global scale.
Work across the stack—modeling, systems, and product—alongside experienced peers.
Influence architecture and standards for reliability, safety, and impact.
