- Proficiency across multiple programming languages, including Python, and experience with JavaScript or React.
- Experience building secure, resilient systems and working across multiple infrastructure providers.
- Hands-on experience with RAG or similar pipelines for unstructured data, and structured data systems involving query planning, semantic modeling, or reasoning.
