  • Experience with MCP servers and client interactions, message schemas, and ensuring context can be shared between AI models and external systems.
  • Experience with model lifecycle management, prompt engineering, serving, and optimizing deep learning or generative AI systems.
  • Experience working with cross functional collaboration with Security and IT to identify high-leverage AI data integrations, interfaces, and features, advocate for their enablement, and work to securely deploy them for safe adoption

Even better if you have

  • Hands-on experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral APIs; RAG pipelines using LangChain, LlamaIndex, DSPy
  • Experience integrating modern LLMs, agentic frameworks, and generative AI models into Underdog’s tech stack—drive platform enhancements, orchestration, and security
  • Experience designing, shipping, and scaling prototypes or production-ready AI applications (internal workflow agents, copilots, automation, customer-facing AI features)
