  • Set up and optimize development pipelines (Docker, CI/CD, GPU acceleration).
  • Write clean, testable, and efficient code (Python, C++ for performance-sensitive modules).
  • Coach and mentor junior developers within the team.

  • 5+ years of proven experience as a Full Stack Developer.
  • Strong expertise in Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, CSS.
  • Excellent coding, testing, and debugging skills.

  • Deep learning frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX.
  • Experience in multimodal applications (image+text, video+text).
