  • An interest in GenAI, LLMs, and AI-driven customer support solutions.
  • Pragmatic problem-solving skills and a passion for collaborative development.
  • The ability to work in cross-functional teams, especially with ML Engineers.
  • A love for solving complex problems and leveraging AI to enhance user experiences.
  • A continuous learning mindset, particularly in AI and ML technologies.

  • Equity packages-we want our success to be yours too.
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers.
