Requirements
- Backend: python, fastapi, pandas, data pipelines, LLMs, openAI, vector search, (and a little of javascript, node.js)
- Frontend: javascript/typescript, react, next.js
- Infrastructure: AWS, terraform, docker, ECS, RDS
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally backend-heavy or fullstack
- You've built, shipped, and maintained production-grade systems
