## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience building agentic systems end to end — tool use, orchestration, context management, multi-step planning — on top of frontier models, in production
- Deep expertise evaluating agents: you've built trajectory-level evals, tool-call scoring, and simulation environments, and you can articulate why final-answer accuracy is insufficient for systems that act
- Demonstrated expertise designing action-level guardrails — permission and tool-scoping models, approval gates, blast-radius controls, and sandboxing — for agents operating in systems where mistakes have consequences
- Proven ability to build platforms, not just models: you've shipped eval, safety, or agent tooling that other engineering teams adopted, and you have the judgment to know when to build versus buy
