Optimize algorithms for product search and discovery.
-
Apply RLHF and DPO techniques to align LLMs with human feedback.
-
Build data pipelines to process large-scale unstructured data efficiently.
-
Improve backend scalability, stability, and performance.
What We're Looking For
-
2+ years of engineering experience, with substantive AI/LLM or backend-oriented depth (not frontend-focused).

Demonstrated experience building and scaling data and ML pipelines, including large-scale unstructured data.
-
Hands-on experience applying RLHF or DPO to align LLMs with human feedback.
-
Full-stack development skills using React, TypeScript, and Next.js.
