Requirements:

  • 4+ years of professional experience in software or machine learning engineering, or demonstrable equivalent impact.
  • At least 1 year of hands-on experience building and operating production-ready Generative AI/LLM solutions in live products, including the implementation of guardrails, hallucination reduction techniques, and safety mitigations.

  • Strong background in integrating and tuning vector databases (such as Pinecone, Weaviate, or FAISS) to support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.

  • Define SLOs for latency, cost, and accuracy; instrument telemetry and alerts.
  • Partner with Product Owners, Ops, and Risk to refine requirements and ship safely.
