- Collaborate on LLM inference optimization, including use of vLLM and quantization concepts
- Work with vectorization and retrieval pipelines, including LanceDB
- Contribute to CI/CD workflows using Git Hub and Git Hub Actions
- Experiment with new AI models and tools, and openly share learnings and results
- Support teammates by reviewing code, unblocking issues, and improving shared practices
- Solid experience in Python development
- Practical exposure to LLMs, RAG, or agentic concepts
- Experience working in collaborative engineering teams
- Comfortable giving and receiving feedback through code reviews
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes or containerized environments
- Familiarity with Git Hub-based workflows
- Strong communication skills and a low-ego, team-first mindset
- Curiosity and willingness to learn from peers and experiments

- You communicate clearly, early, and constructively
- You seek alignment before making significant changes
- You help others succeed through collaboration, pairing, and knowledge sharing
- You value maintainability, clarity, and shared ownership
- Increasing trust and collaboration within the team
- Positive impact on team velocity and quality, not just personal output
- Contributions that are adopted and reused by others
- Growing influence through collaboration rather than authority
