Fluency in Python; familiarity with Go is a plus.
-
Practical experience building or integrating production AI/ML or LLM systems, including benchmarking, fine-tuning, and experimentation.
-
Evidence of building robust production systems, with comfort working at scale, automating systems, and improving complex codebases.
