• Experience with Git workflow (pull requests, code reviews)
• Familiarity with AI/ML libraries (e.g., PyTorch, Hugging Face, Scikit-Learn) would be considered an asset
• Passion for working in teams with emphasis on respect and continuous improvement
• Willingness to raise your hand when you see something could be done / built better
• Experience working on SaaS, large-scale distributed systems would be considered an asset
• Consistent track record of building and maintaining highly scalable products would be considered an asset
