- Experience contributing to scalable systems and component-level architecture
- Ability to design and build RESTful APIs for model serving and AI-enabled workflows
- Working knowledge of relational/SQL databases (preferably PostgreSQL) and data modeling for AI use cases
- Strong understanding of modern LLM concepts, including transformer architectures and attention mechanisms
- Hands-on experience adapting and deploying open-source models (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral, Mixtral) using tools like Ollama or Hugging Face Transformers
- Experience with fine-tuning techniques (e.g., LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT) for domain-specific adaptation
- Proficiency in prompt engineering (few-shot, chain-of-thought, structured outputs)
- Familiarity with model serving patterns for efficient, scalable inference
- Experience designing and implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines end-to-end
- Hands-on experience with vector databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate)
- Familiarity with embedding models, chunking strategies, and semantic search patterns
