- A degree in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, economics, or similar fields from a leading university
- In-depth understanding of mathematical and statistical concepts behind the most common machine learning techniques
- Familiarity with frontier lab APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic), and their advanced features like structured outputs and tool calling
- Understanding of LLM inference considerations e.g. input vs. output tokens, prompt caching
- Experience working with deep learning models within natural language processing or computer vision (e.g. HuggingFace model import/fine-tuning /inference)
- Experience writing code in Python
- Experience and willingness to work through the challenges associated with large, unstructured, real-world data sets in a client-facing setting
- Ability to see solutions and opportunities that others do not see
- High level of commitment and reliability, good balance of pragmatism and perfectionism
