• Familiarity with Git, software testing, cloud deployment, logging, and application monitoring.
• Ability to independently design and implement solutions from prototype through production.
• Strong debugging and technical problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience with vector databases, embedding models, knowledge retrieval, and document-processing pipelines.
