  • 3 years of experience in AI/ML engineering, with hands-on experience in building and deploying LLM-based systems
  • Strong proficiency in Python and familiarity with frameworks such as Hugging Face Transformers and LangChain
  • Practical experience with Weaviate or similar vector databases for RAG-based systems
  • Understanding of low-latency voice technologies, including streaming pipelines and real-time audio processing
  • Solid background in infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, and secure API development

Preferred

  • Experience building multi-step agent orchestration or custom AI workflows
  • Knowledge of latency reduction techniques (e.g., model quantization, caching)
  • Familiarity with designing voice-first conversational UX
  • Strong understanding of security, data protection, and adversarial considerations in AI pipelines
