  • 3+ years of professional engineering or relevant industry experience in AI/ML or software engineering.
  • Strong software engineering skills and experience building reliable, maintainable AI systems.
  • Hands-on experience building agentic systems, reinforcement learning environments, LLM pipelines, or similar AI systems.
  • Experience building evaluation harnesses, benchmarks, or model testing pipelines.
  • Ability to work independently on technical problems and move quickly from an idea or research question to a working solution.
  • Strong understanding of experimentation, reproducibility, and technical documentation. 

Nice to Haves 

  • Developed synthetic data generation systems or datasets.
  • Published research papers, benchmarks, or other technical research.
  • Worked with SWE-bench or similar software engineering evaluation environments.
  • Built or deployed local inference, open-weight models, or self-hosted model environments.
