Day-to-day tasks include implementing machine learning algorithms, testing model performance, and staying updated with the latest advancements in AI technology.

Tech Stack (you don’t need all, but strong coverage is expected)

• LLM/RAG:

   Python, LangChain/LlamaIndex (or equivalent), OpenAI/Anthropic/HF, embeddings, VectorDBs (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, pgvector).

• Modeling:

   Fine-tuning, instruction tuning, RLHF/DPO (nice-to-have), evaluation frameworks.

• Data/Parsing:

   pdfplumber, PyMuPDF, LayoutLM/Donut/DocTR (or similar), regex/grammar parsers.

• Agents & Scraping:

   Playwright/Puppeteer/Selenium, asyncio, proxy management, scraping ethics/robots compliance.

• Security/Privacy:

   PII handling, data anonymization, access controls, key management.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in ML/AI software engineering (at least 1+ years hands-on with LLMs/RAG).
• Proven delivery of an LLM or search/retrieval system to production (not just prototypes).
• Strong Python engineering, testing discipline, and systems thinking.
• Experience designing evaluation harnesses and closing the loop with retraining.
• Excellent communication; able to work independently as the founding AI hire and mentor others.

Nice to Have

• Experience in supply chain/logistics or B2B data integrations.
