We are in the final phases of putting down problems.

LLM & Private Model Expertise: Deep understanding of transformer architectures, embeddings, RAG, prompt engineering, and self-hosted/private model deployments (e.g., vLLM, SGLang, Llama.cpp.) Big bonus if you are a Linux guru. Collaborative Mindset: Strong communication skills to pitch architectural decisions, take direct feedback during peer reviews, and adapt quickly.

We are looking for individual talent and that approach will blow up in your face.
