  • Deep knowledge of AI workloads, frameworks, and performance characteristics.

  • Experience building tools, workflows, or infrastructure used by other engineers.

  • Up to date with AI-enabled tooling for software development and performance analysis.

  • Strong interpersonal skills for understanding engineer difficulties and working across multi-functional teams.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience profiling or optimizing AI training or inference pipelines at scale

  • Background building developer tools or platforms for ML engineers

  • Contributions to open-source AI tooling or frameworks
