Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., OpenSearch, Pinecone, FAISS) and embedding pipelines.
Proficient in Python or Node.js; experience building APIs and data pipelines.
Exposure to AWS services (Lambda, ECS, SageMaker, S3) for AI/ML deployment.
Understanding of data governance, red-teaming, and AI safety principles.
Strong ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver in a fast-paced, startup-like environment.
