- 3–6 years of hands-on experience in AI/ML engineering, including recent work with LLMs and LangChain.
- Proficiency with GCP Vertex AI tools such as Pipelines, Model Registry, Training, and Endpoints.
- Strong Python programming skills, with experience in FastAPI, Flask, or similar web frameworks.
- Demonstrated experience building interactive dashboards or tools using Streamlit, Gradio, or Dash.
- Knowledge of MLOps workflows, including tools like MLflow, Weights & Biases, or Vertex AI Experiments.
- Experience working with vector stores (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate) in agent pipelines.
- Familiarity with retrieval-based QA, embeddings, and prompt engineering techniques.
- Experience with LangGraph or similar agent orchestration frameworks.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with cloud-native deployment and DevOps tools (Terraform, Docker, GCP Cloud Build).
- Background in UX/UI design thinking or rapid prototyping for AI-driven applications.
- Experience integrating LLMs with external APIs or private knowledge sources.
