• Deep knowledge of Python and common ML packages (such as LangChain, pandas, sklearn, and PyTorch) as well as data engineering tools and technologies like dbt, Airflow, and Spark.

• Strong presentation skills to both technical and executive audiences, whether whiteboarding sessions or formal readouts and demos.

• Bachelor’s Degree required, Masters Degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or related fields, or equivalent experience preferred.

BONUS POINTS FOR EXPERIENCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:

• Working knowledge of tools in the LLM ecosystem such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or other OSS packages.
