Who You Are:

• Proficiency in Go or another modern backend language such as Python, PHP, Java
• 1+ year of experience building or working with AI/ML systems, including in production or production-adjacent environments
• Familiarity with modern GenAI ecosystems (OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, Braintrust, PortKey, LangChain)
• Exposure to NLP tasks via LLMs (text classification, named entity recognition, extraction, summarization)
• Basic working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience with SQL and working with structured data
• Experience with RabbitMQ, Grafana or Prometheus

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with vector databases, inference engines, or data persistence layers

• Proficiency with current frontend frameworks such as React

What Success Looks Like

• AI components are delivered with quality and meet defined requirements
• Code is well-structured, tested, and easy for teammates to build on
• Blockers and risks are surfaced early and communicated clearly
• You are actively growing your understanding of the AI/ML domain and the team's systems
