Requirements

- Improve the performance, observability, and safety of our internal model architecture
- Extend our AI evaluation systems to support smarter ranking, feedback loops, and product metrics

- Contribute to building internal tools that help us accelerate iteration on AI features and workflows
Preferred Qualifications
