- Proficiency in TypeScript.
- Hands-on experience putting AI/ML or multi-step agent-based systems into live use.
- Comfort with AI-assisted development practices, including supervising coding agents.
- Solid grounding in integration design and overall system design, with complete products built and shipped.
- Self-direction and ease with ambiguity, able to make progress without a defined process.
