• Proven experience with LLMs, agentic frameworks (Pydantic, LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom), and AI workflow tooling
• Strong Python (Django or FastAPI) and familiarity with TypeScript / React for integration work
• Deep understanding of modern AI primitives: function calling, RAG, embeddings, structured outputs, evals
• Strong communication skills, able to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders effectively
