Practical experience with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agentic patterns is required, along with familiarity with data engineering fundamentals, such as SQL and cloud data warehouses like Snowflake. Experience with workflow orchestration tools and cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS, is also desirable. A strong instinct for product quality and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment are crucial for success in this role.
Metropolis offers a competitive base salary ranging from $170,000 to $200,000 annually, determined by factors such as qualifications, experience, skills, education, certifications, and location.
