  • Security & Guardrails
     

    • Develop safety filters, rate-limits, and policy enforcement layers to prevent misuse or unsafe behaviors.
       

    • Collaborate with Ethics & QA teams to integrate bias detection and fallback strategies.


Required Qualifications

  • Strong in Python skills and familiarity with web frameworks (FastAPI, Flask) for building service APIs.
     

  • Solid understanding of distributed systems principles, task queues, and message brokers (e.g., Celery, RabbitMQ, Kafka).
     

Preferred Skills & Experience
