Optimize LLM performance, cost, and latency

Implement evaluation frameworks and monitoring for AI systems

Deploy scalable services using Docker & Kubernetes

Work closely with product and infra teams to ship real features

3+ years building production backend or distributed systems (pre-AI experience required)
