• Hands-on experience building with LLMs, AI APIs or AI-powered workflows
• Strong understanding of modern AI tooling and the current LLM ecosystem
• Experience owning and delivering projects independently xhyhwjd

• Excellent communication skills and confidence working directly with customers
• Strong academic background in computer science, mathematics, engineering or a related technical discipline
