* Familiarity with knowledge graphs, vector stores, relational databases, and
embedding pipelines.

* Advanced knowledge of a major ML cloud platform (AWS SageMaker, Databricks,
Azure ML, GCP/ Google Vertex AI) and its ecosystem of services.

* Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or AWS
