• Extensive experience with AWS and/or Azure cloud-native architectures, APIs, containers, and vector databases.
• Strong grasp of AI safety, observability, model evaluation, and scalability best practices, with the ability to set standards for others.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and lead technical decision-making in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with model fine-tuning, open-source models, or self-hosted AI deployments.
