• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps best practices
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences
• Strong hands‑on experience with Python, PyTorch or JAX, Hugging Face ecosystem, LangChain/LangGraph, AWS Bedrock + SageMaker, vector databases (Pinecone/Weaviate/Qdrant), RAG pipelines, and prompt optimization frameworks (DSPy, Guidance, Outlines)
• Experience integrating AI features into CRM platforms (ideally Salesforce)

Bonus

• Familiarity with CRMs, ERPs, or launching products on Salesforce, specifically AgentForce
• Familiarity with fundraising practices and metrics (e.g., donor lifetime value, conversion rates)
• Hands‑on experience building with or extending Salesforce AgentForce, Einstein, or Data Cloud
• Contributions to open‑source AI projects or research publications
