- Hands-on experience building AI agents or applications using frameworks such as LangChain or LangGraph.
- Practical experience integrating large language model APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic) into production systems.
- Experience with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes) and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern version control workflows.
- Background in SaaS startups with direct ownership of backend or AI systems in a small team environment.
- Comfort navigating ambiguous, fast-moving environments and delivering results with autonomy.
- Experience with LLM monitoring, observability, or evaluation tooling is a plus.
- Exposure to fine-tuning or training machine learning models is a plus.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.
