• Understanding of core Machine Learning algorithms and basics
  
  

Bonus Points If You Have

• A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in computer science, math, or a related field is cool, but practical experience and technical skills are what really matter.
• Knowing how to excel in Open Source communities.
• Understanding how application build pipelines work (like how code becomes binaries or Python wheels).
• A track record of contributing to the vLLM community is a huge plus!
