## About the Role

* AI expertise: You have hands-on experience with LLMs, agents, retrieval, prompting, and production AI systems.
 * Full-stack product engineering: You can build clean, reliable product experiences end to end.
 * Infrastructure depth: You're comfortable with cloud services, deployment, observability, reliability, and security.
