- Strong TypeScript, including Next.js, and Python skills for data analysis, evaluations, and model work, with a track record of shipping end to end.
- Production experience in applied AI, such as LLM reasoning or post-training, generative AI, agentic systems, search, recommendation systems, algorithms, or machine learning research.
- Experience building feedback loops and improving AI infrastructure, agent architecture, or model strategy in production.
- Experience owning and shipping work in a startup or small team, plus strong research or applied AI achievements.
