Develop model orchestration, data processing pipelines, retrieval systems, and execution runtimes for applied AI features.
Create scalable APIs, services, and internal tools enabling rapid development, evaluation, and deployment of AI systems.
Architect robust systems for model inference, prompt execution, vector retrieval, and multi-step agent reasoning.
Maintain high engineering standards through clean code, testing, observability, and CI/CD.
Collaborate closely with AI engineers, product managers, and designers to ship features used by thousands of clients.
