• 3+ years experience writing production quality scalable code using Python to build NLP models (working on Information Extraction or LLMs problems will be a plus). 
• Expert level knowledge working with Python and Deep Learning libraries such as PyTorch or Tensorflow.
• Familiar with recent advances in NLP/CV and/or knowledge working with Deep Learning libraries such as PyTorch or Tensorflow is a big plus.
• Familiar with recent advances in NLP/CV with deep understanding of the basic classes of ML/DL algorithms (also the underlying assumptions).
• Reasonable prior exposure to best practices in the software development lifecycle, and a commitment to implementing these practices appropriately in the context.
• High levels of curiosity and eager enthusiasm for open-ended problems. Experience and interest in problem formulation based on relatively abstract information.
