Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python and Golang, with the ability to write clean, efficient code.
AI/ML Knowledge: Familiarity with AI/ML concepts. Hands-on experience with large language models (LLMs), and prompt engineering techniques are strongly preferred.
AI Agent Frameworks: Strong understanding of general AI agent frameworks, function calling, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Hands-on experience of building such a system is strongly preferred.
Cloud DevOps: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps practices (CI/CD, containerization, monitoring).
Integration Expertise: Hands-on experience with integrating systems via APIs, webhooks, and data pipelines.
Communication: Excellent communication and project management skills.
Analytical Approach: Ability to use data-driven decision-making, including A/B testing and performance monitoring, to refine solutions.
Collaborative Builder: You thrive in cross-functional environments, working hand-in-hand with PMs and engineers to turn real customer problems into scalable AI solutions.
