In your role, you will plan and implement new LLM-based information extraction and data processing workflows, along with improving existing ones. To succeed in your role, you need to be creative, able to quickly implement potentially many different solutions, analyze what works, and have excellent judgment and intuition on how a problem that is solvable with LLMs should be approached.

• Understanding of the whole software lifecycle including design, development, deployment, and operations
• Ability to think analytically, structure your work, and solve problems proactively
