You may be a good fit if you:

• Have built, shipped & maintained production systems around LLMs, including integration, prompt management, and performance analysis.

• Experience owning complex features from design to deployment, with a focus on scalability and maintainability.

• Ability to work closely with researchers, engineers, and product teams to translate insights into actionable improvements.

• Have strong coding abilities and are comfortable working across the stack.
