What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience building and operating production software systems.
  • Hands-on experience building or operating LLM-driven agents or agentic pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of agent architectures including reasoning, retrieval, tool use, and multimodal capabilities.
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks to measure the quality, reliability, and safety of AI-driven systems.
  • Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agent memory or session-persistence systems.
  • Strong distributed systems background including service discovery, secrets management, and multi-tenant infrastructure on Kubernetes.
  • Working familiarity with modern generative and computer vision architectures like Transformers, Diffusion models, and MLLMs.
  • Proficiency with Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.
  • Familiarity with model serving and inference optimization tooling such as NVIDIA Triton, TorchServe, ONNX, and CUDA (preferred).
