What they're looking for
- 15+ years of software engineering experience, including a sustained track record of building and shipping production AI/ML or agentic systems at enterprise scale

- Deep expertise in production AI architectures—including RAG pipelines, multi-step agentic systems, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, observability, security, and operating models for enterprise-scale adoption
- Hands-on technical leader who writes and reviews production code, stays close to implementation, and can move from executive strategy to the critical technical details that determine whether a system succeeds
- Exceptional systems thinking and technical communication skills across deeply technical and executive audiences, with the ability to influence without formal authority and align multiple organizations around a common technical strategy
