architectures. ● Build evaluation frameworks, monitoring systems, and automated feedback loops

to improve model performance. ● Create scalable pipelines for processing large volumes of structured and

unstructured data. ● Own the reliability, scalability, and architecture of production AI systems. ● Work closely with product and engineering teams to translate customer needs

into AI-powered solutions. ● Contribute directly to the technical direction and future architecture of the

platform.

What You'll Have

● 2+ years of experience building production AI, ML, NLP, or LLM-powered systems. ● Strong understanding of retrieval systems, embeddings, RAG architectures, and

unstructured data processing. ● Experience deploying and maintaining AI applications in production
