- A track record as the person a team turns to on ambiguous technical calls, whether through architecture review, pairing, or informal mentorship
- A track record of directly influencing senior technical and business stakeholders, including VP and C-level, in complex organizations
- Extensive experience building and operating production systems. Hands-on experience with LLMs and agents is expected. Side projects and prototypes count
- Experience leading advisory and architecture-review engagements as well as hands-on builds, and running them end to end
- High agency with an ability to navigate ambiguity present in complex organizations, and the learning velocity to pick up new domains and tools fast
