• Experience building agents using modern frameworks and protocols (MCP, A2A, Lang Graph, CrewAI, or similar), beyond tutorials and prototypes.
• Understanding of LLM production concerns such as grounding, guardrails, latency, cost optimization, and observability.
• Familiarity with knowledge graphs, vector stores, relational databases, and embedding pipelines.
