Have experience working with large language models (LLMs), transformer architectures, and multi-modal AI systems
Demonstrate familiarity with model safety and responsible AI practices, including content filtering, red-teaming, or adversarial robustness evaluation
Show proficiency in Python and experience building production data or ML pipelines
Have experience with containerized deployments, CI/CD practices, and cloud infrastructure (not required, but suggested)
