• Deep, hands‑on experience in both front‑end and back‑end development, mastery of Python and modern enterprise‑grade languages.
• Expert knowledge of vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus) and scalable architecture principles.
• High proficiency in Kubernetes, Docker, and modern CI/CD pipelines to ensure AI agents are production‑ready.
• Expert in version control (GitHub), Test‑Driven Development, and automated testing tailored for AI outputs.

Preferred Skills

• Experience running cross‑departmental projects in a fast‑paced environment.
• Experience managing AI‑driven automation for mixed software and hardware assets.
• Proven ability to conduct peer evaluations and formal design reviews that drive architectural excellence across an enterprise.
