About You Basic Qualifications 8+ years of professional experience in software engineering and product-building, with a proven track record of shipping and maintaining production code at scale. 3+ years of hands-on experience integrating large models (LLMs, Foundation Models) and modern AI APIs into user-facing enterprise products. 1–2+ years of hands-on experience building with modern AI orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, or multi-agent frameworks) and implementing advanced prompt engineering techniques to manage complex agentic workflows. 4+ years of experience optimizing application performance, specifically tackling product constraints such as API latency, token management, and user interaction design. 4+ years of proven experience leveraging cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) to deploy highly responsive, scalable systems. Hands-on experience deploying and operating services in containerized, cloud-native environments (Docker, Kubernetes), with exposure to infrastructure-as-code and GitOps tooling (e.g., Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD) Other Qualifications Bachelor’s degree (Master’s preferred) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent technical field. Product-First AI Mindset: Deep focus on business value, user experience, and applying deep learning or large models directly to solve practical end-user challenges. System Design & Reusability: Proven ability to architect robust application layers that wrap around AI models, establishing reusable patterns for system predictability, error handling, and seamless UX integration. Experimentation & Evaluation: Skilled in rapid prototyping, benchmarking model outputs against product requirements, and setting up automated evaluation metrics (e.g., assessing retrieval quality and agentic behavior). Hands-on experience with production observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Sentry, Datadog) to debug, trace, and measure live systems Experience using feature-flag/experimentation platforms (e.g., LaunchDarkly) to safely roll out, A/B test, and decommission changes, including flag lifecycle and cleanup discipline Familiarity with data persistence and async processing - relational databases and schema migrations (e.g., PostgreSQL), caching (e.g., Redis), and message/queue or task workflows (e.g., Celery, Kafka, SQS) A track record of writing well-tested, maintainable production code with attention to code quality, security scanning, and dependency hygiene (e.g., unit/integration tests, SonarQube, dependency tooling) Familiarity with full-stack development - building web UIs (e.g., React, TypeScript) and backend services/REST APIs in Python (e.g., FastAPI, Django) Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Proven track record of technically leading engineering workstreams, taking ownership of the development lifecycle, and mentoring junior-to-mid level engineers.
