- Working knowledge of software engineering fundamentals, including testing, version control, and CI workflows
- Experience using Kubernetes to develop and deploying cloud-native applications
- Experience writing clean, maintainable code and contributing to shared codebases
Preferred:
- Exposure to AI/ML-enabled application development, including LLM-based features, agents, or automation.
- Familiarity with modern AI and agent frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Guidance.
- Experience building RAG-style systems using vector databases such as Chroma or Pinecone.
- Familiarity with tools used in data and streaming systems (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Ray).
