- Data Processing: Experience with multimodal data (e.g., OCR, audio transcription, video chunking with FFmpeg/OpenCV).
- Payments & Metering: Familiarity with usage-based billing systems or token-based ledgers.
Your Impact
- The systems designed by this role will form the foundation for:
- Thousands of AI agents for major partners across chat, video, and APIs.
- A new creator economy enabling developers to earn revenue through agents.
- The overall speed, security, and scalability of my client’s AI platform.
