Excellent skills in Python and a solid understanding of Java, enabling seamless integration of AI components into existing systems. Familiarity with LLM APIs from various vendors (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex - prior production deployment is welcome but not strictly required. Conceptual understanding of vector databases, retrieval pipelines, and semantic search; practical exposure (PoCs, prototypes, hack projects) is welcome, and production experience is a plus, not a must. Working knowledge of agentic execution patterns and prompt engineering principles - able to reason about trade offs and guide implementation even if not previously shipped to production. Ability to evaluate open source models, tools, and frameworks and outline integration paths; direct production integrations are optional. Exposure to (or readiness to quickly learn) LLM model serving/tuning (e.g., vLLM, TGI, Triton). Genuine interest in applying AI technologies to advance bioinformatics and contribute to life science innovations. Strong ability to convey complex ideas clearly and collaborate effectively within a team. Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
