General Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in Software Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, MLOps, or AI Engineering roles.
• Experience designing and supporting production systems in cloud environments.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, problem-solving, and mentoring capabilities.

Mandatory Requirements

• Strong Python programming expertise with experience building and maintaining production-grade applications.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals, including testing, code reviews, Git/version control, and maintainable code practices.
• Proven experience delivering and supporting LLM/Generative AI applications in production.
• Hands-on experience with RAG architectures, AI agents, and/or fine-tuned LLMs.
• Strong understanding of LLM evaluation, guardrails, observability, latency optimization, and cost management.
• Experience implementing Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform or equivalent IaC tools.
• Production experience on at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Experience with Databricks or comparable lakehouse/MLOps platforms.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized AI/ML workloads.
• Experience building and supporting CI/CD pipelines for ML and AI deployments.
