• Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate development throughput.
• Large enterprise experience
• Experience with search platforms such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Solr, or Algolia—index management, query DSL, relevance tuning.
• Familiarity with vector search concepts and tooling such as embeddings, approximate nearest neighbor (ANN), FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, or similar.
• Exposure to ML/AI patterns: RAG pipelines, LLM integration, prompt engineering, or fine-tuning workflows.
• Experience with AI orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or Google ADK.
• Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Pulumi) and mature CI/CD pipeline ownership.
