- A relevant degree or equivalent practical experience.
- At least 10 years in software engineering, including at least 7 years in architecture or senior technical leadership.
- Regular hands-on use of AI coding agents, with evidence of turning that experience into practices or tools adopted by other engineers.
- Experience delivering production LLM systems, including agent coordination, tool use, context design, retrieval, and evaluation.
