  • Experience building and operating LLM or AI agent systems used by real customers.

  • Full-stack range, including the ability to work across backend services, infrastructure, and user interfaces.

  • Experience scaling a working product and making technical decisions with a high degree of ownership.

  • Familiarity with agent orchestration, memory, evaluations, verification, or multi-agent workflows is valuable.
