  • Contribute to model evaluation frameworks and feedback loops that improve AI accuracy, reliability, and user experience.

  • Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and cross-functional syncs to ensure high-quality, scalable software delivery.

  • Identify and resolve production issues, contributing to root cause analysis and preventive measures.

  • Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented code following team engineering standards.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong programming skills in Python (preferred) or Go/Java, with foundational understanding of machine learning, NLP, or LLM architectures.

  • Familiarity with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or LangChain.

  • 0-1 years of professional software engineering experience; new graduates are welcome to apply.

  • Experience or coursework in prompt engineering, LLM fine-tuning, or AI workflow orchestration (internship or project experience counts).
