- Ownership mentality, going above and beyond what is required because you genuinely enjoy this type of work.
- Excitement about working on projects that are Open Source and/or accessible to the world.
- Enjoyment of working in a fast-paced environment with multiple projects to juggle simultaneously.
- Prior contributions to projects like Langchain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, Redis-related projects, or MLOps systems for feature orchestration like Feast.
