Working knowledge of vector databases (ChromaDB, Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone, or similar)
Cloud platform experience (Google Cloud Platform preferred, especially Vertex AI)
Docker and containerized deployments
Strong software engineering fundamentals SOLID principles, clean code practices, design patterns, testing, version control (Git), code review
Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot) and critically evaluating what they produce
Strongly Preferred
Experience with agentic AI patterns multi-agent orchestration, tool use, autonomous workflows (LangGraph, Google ADK, or similar)
Document processing experience extracting and parsing data from PDFs and Word/DOCX files programmatically
Understanding of LLM evaluation principles and output quality assessment (BLEU, ROUGE etc, code execution metrics, or similar)
Data science fundamentals Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, statistical analysis, data visualization
Prompt engineering and optimisation techniques
Streamlit application development
