• 4+ years of experience in software engineering, data science, machine learning, or research roles (including relevant academic experience).
• Experience building and delivering production solutions to customers using Python, TypeScript, or similar.
• Experience building pipelines for structured and unstructured data, including work with vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-like architectures.
• Experience with prompt design, evaluation, and iteration workflows.
• Ability to rapidly understand complex domains and read and implement research papers.
• Comfortable working with real-time applications and production systems.

Nice to Have

• Master’s degree or PhD in AI, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience implementing multi-agent systems using frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK) and patterns such as ReAct, self-reflection, and hierarchical delegation.
• Knowledge of LLM-native metrics (e.g., tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing.
• Background in data pipelines, APIs, or system integrations.
• Experience working with enterprise or B2B customers.
