Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with PyTorch, Hugging Face, and Weights & Biases.

A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, machine learning, or an equivalent field.

Experience with geometric data, CAD systems, or impactful AI research is a plus.

A builder mindset, with the ability to move quickly from ideas to production and a focus on customer experience.
