You'll be on-call for customers when situations arise. Requirements: - Hands-on experience in software engineering or ML engineering through professional roles, internships, or coursework/research projects - Strong Python skills and familiarity with libraries such as PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, or OpenAI APIs - Solid understanding of data pipelines, APIs, and production deployment (e.g., Docker, FastAPI, GCP/AWS) - Experience building usable systems from messy data and ambiguous requirements - Strong communication skills—ability to explain technical decisions to delivery teams and client stakeholders - Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working in fast-moving, unstructured environments - Willingness to be on-call for customers - Ability to travel 25–50% of the time for on-site client engagements
