  • Proven experience with tools like MLflow, Weights & Biases, or Kubeflow.
  • High proficiency in Python and a "systems-thinking" approach to Docker, Helm, and containerization.
  • Hands-on experience operating LLM inference at scale and a deep understanding of the trade-offs between throughput and latency.
  • A track record of building internal platforms that treat other engineers as the primary customer, drastically improving engineering velocity.
