• 6 days work week for next 4 months

Requirements:

• Exceptionally strong software engineering

• High learning velocity; ability to pick up AI and LLM systems quickly

• No prior AI experience required - curiosity and execution matter more

• Strong interest in building deep-tech products, not just research prototypes
