What You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s degree is required

  • Evaluation and observability frameworks (e.g., LLM/human evals, prompt testing, reliability scoring)
  • Model monitoring and retraining pipelines
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in agile teams and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences

What Would Be Nice To Have:
