- Rapid prototyping ("vibe coding"): Build applications with AI-assisted coding tools, notebooks, and lightweight services; iterate in short cycles with frequent demos and feedback.
- LLM features: Implement and test use cases like search, summarization, and Q&A over documents/logs with guidance from senior team members.

- ML fundamentals and strong interest in generative AI/LLMs (evaluation, failure modes, responsible use).
- Exposure to PyTorch/TensorFlow or modern LLM tooling (Transformers, RAG/vector search libraries).
- Comfortable using Git and collaborating via pull requests.
Preferred Skills:
