• Technical fluency in modern AI/ML systems, including large language model (LLM) orchestration frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and scalable data integration across enterprise platforms.
• Experience integrating structured human feedback and expert review into model evaluation and continuous refinement.
• Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment.
