• Stay up-to-date with the rapidly evolving ML and GenAI landscape; self-learning and curiosity are essential to success in this role.
• Take initiative, share wins, and work with purpose — we value engineers who care deeply about their craft and their impact on others.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience, with a focus on Python.
• Experience building both traditional machine learning models (e.g., regression, classification, clustering) and generative AI systems (e.g., LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt engineering).
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and MLOps practices (deployment, monitoring, observability).
• Experience working with unstructured and semi-structured data, including transforming it into structured formats via machine learning.
• JavaScript experience is a plus.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and CI/CD practices.

Knowledge / Skills / Abilities

• Deep curiosity and a strong drive for self-learning; ability to stay current with rapid developments in ML and generative AI.
