## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of Staff-level technical leadership and org-wide impact
- Experience leading complex, multi-engineer or cross-functional initiatives where success required influence rather than direct ownership
- Strong systems thinking: you can reason from frontline operational symptoms to root-cause product, platform, or workflow changes
- Practical AI/LLM fluency, including strong intuition for context windows, retrieval, tool use, skills, harnesses, evaluations, and the tradeoffs involved in building reliable AI workflows
- Strong product judgment and customer empathy, especially in environments where your work materially improved the day-to-day experience of operators, customers, or internal teams
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the roadmap evolves as the technology, product, and user needs evolve
