## About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled LLM Platform Engineer to join our team full‑time. You will play a foundational role in designing, building and optimizing the AI systems that turn heterogeneous knowledge — technical documentation, video, imagery, voice, and 3D scene data — into grounded, real‑time guidance for next‑generation training and maintenance applications.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 1–2 years building production LLM systems (RAG pipelines, agents, or LLM‑powered products with real users)
- Hands‑on experience designing knowledge ingestion and retrieval systems: embedding models, vector and hybrid search, chunking strategies, and semantic data modeling across more than one modality
- Strong Python and backend engineering fundamentals: APIs, data pipelines, async systems, and working in a cloud environment (AWS preferred)
- A metrics‑driven approach: experience building evals or benchmarks for LLM systems and using them to drive iteration, not just report scores
- Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous problems from prototype to reliable, maintainable production services
- Experience deploying and operating production systems: CI/CD, release management, and monitoring
