  • Desire to learn new things, work closely with peers from different teams, and open to teach and learn from others.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in the technical mentorship of junior and mid-level engineers, driving the adoption of best practices and ensuring architectural alignment for scalability and extensibility.

What we'd like to see

  • Experience building and evaluating agentic systems at scale.
  • Production experience with LLM-centric services (e.g., inference, orchestration, evaluation, monitoring)
  • Familiarity with large-scale ML experimentation, benchmarking, or simulation framework
  • Knowledge of techniques for optimizing model architectures for faster inference
  • Experience with AWS, CI/CD, Kafka, Athena

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
