  • Strong understanding of AI application architectures, including model integration, prompt engineering, vector databases, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) concepts.
  • Experience with Python for AI/ML development and integration.
  • Good knowledge of React, JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js, and modern front-end development tools.
  • Experience with Node.js, Express, or similar server-side frameworks.
  • Proven experience designing and deploying scalable distributed systems and microservices architectures.
  • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, or vector databases.
  • Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native development practices.
