  • Experience working with Large Language Models beyond simple API integration.
  • Experience evaluating AI systems and translating results into actionable recommendations.
  • Experience building and maintaining machine learning systems and pipelines.
  • Understanding of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic systems, and LLM safety concepts.
  • Ability to work effectively in ambiguous problem spaces with incomplete requirements and limited data.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent is required

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience designing benchmarks, evaluation frameworks, or automated evaluation systems.
  • Experience with distributed training or large-scale model inference.
  • Experience building reusable ML tooling and internal platforms.
  • Experience with cloud platforms and modern MLOps practices.
  • Experience working on user-facing AI products at scale.
  • Research experience or publications in machine learning or AI-related fields

We offer
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects
