- Fluency with agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code) and their architecture patterns (a strong plus)
- Ability to explain complex AI concepts and tradeoffs clearly to nontechnical stakeholders
- Experience building agent harnesses: memory compression, skill disclosure, and tool design
- A proven track record in AI evaluation, observability, and retrieval over enterprise data
- Deep experience orchestrating multistep LLM workflows as execution graphs (e.g. LangChain/LangGraph)
- Strong prompt engineering: tuning, versioning, and evaluation of prompts and model configs
