- (e.g., pipelines, workflows, or agents) and Retrieval Augmental Generation (
RAG
) frameworks
Experience with
Agent evaluation from direct user feedback
- Experience with Agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., Pydantic AI, LangChain, or similar)
- Ability to operate across engineering, product, and applied AI
- Strong ownership mindset and comfort building 0→1 systems in fast-paced environments
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and domain teams
Strong Plus
Experience building systems with partial or full autonomy in real-world environments
