• SQL and working with structured/unstructured data
• Exposure to vector databases (Pinecone, FAISS, etc.)
• Curious and proactive mindset
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
• Strong problem-solving and execution skills
• Interest in building real-world AI applications, not just experiments

Nice To Haves
