  • 3+ years of industry experience in software engineering, machine learning, data science, or related disciplines.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, TypeScript, and familiarity with modern software development practices.
  • Experience working with machine learning, generative AI, large language models, or information retrieval systems.
  • Understanding of vector databases, search technologies, embeddings, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) concepts.
  • Experience developing scalable services on public cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
  • Familiarity with REST APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks and agentic AI systems.
  • Familiarity with Azure AI Search, Azure OpenAI, or comparable AI services.
  • Experience with evaluation frameworks, experimentation, and A/B testing methodologies.
  • Knowledge of containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with knowledge graphs, semantic search, or recommendation systems.
  • Exposure to MLOps, model deployment, and production AI systems.
  • Experience working in developer tools, enterprise software, or technical documentation environments.
