• Understanding of NLP, entity extraction, and classification techniques
• Experience working with relational databases and schema evolution

• Experience with large educational or enterprise data models

💼What We Offer:

• Official military deferment (reservation)
• A competitive compensation that appreciates your skills and experience
• Lead refactoring initiatives for the AI-enabled architecture
• Influence core platform design decisions related to AI, RAG pipelines, and microservices
• Potential for future leadership roles as AI components expand across the platform
• Cozy atmosphere and modern approaches. We have neither bureaucracy nor strict management nor “working under pressure” conditions
• Opportunity to implement your ideas, tools, and approaches. We are open to changes and suggestions aimed at improvement
