  • A demonstrable history of personally owning and scaling complex ML systems from raw research ideas to reliable, high-impact production deployments

  • Exceptional command of Python and applied machine learning, with strong systems-level instincts spanning APIs, data pipelines, ML infrastructure, and production reliability

  • A deep, first-principles understanding of LLMs and AI search systems, including the ability to rigorously evaluate, reverse-engineer, and reason about emergent model behavior

  • Experience making consequential architectural and modeling decisions in cloud-native environments (preferably GCP), using tools like FastAPI, Docker, and modern data platforms

  • Outstanding judgment, communication, and problem-solving ability, with the credibility to set direction, earn trust, and lead through extreme ambiguity
