• Orbit Together: Collaborate with a shared mission, knowing collective success drives greater outcomes.

Technical Must-Haves

• LLM-based agent design with retrieval-augmented generation
• Proficiency in AI evaluation frameworks, NLP fundamentals (tokenisation, embeddings, LLM architecture), and bias handling
• Prompt engineering with systematic experimentation (tools like Weave or Langsmith)
• Strong Python back-end skills for data-intensive systems and data processing
• Ability to balance token limits, cost, and speed while producing structured outputs
