• Backend expertise in Node.js, Python, or Go, with a focus on developing scalable APIs and AI-driven services.
• Experience working with AI models and APIs (e.g., OpenAI, fine-tuned models, or LLM-based applications).
• Familiarity with cloud-based architectures and serverless platforms, particularly within the Vercel ecosystem.
• A strong passion for developer experience and a deep understanding of how AI can enhance productivity.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
