- Strong product sense and an understanding of user problems and business impact across teams.

- Strong backend skills in Python or TypeScript/Node.js, including building service interfaces, database schemas and asynchronous messaging.

- Hands-on builder who uses coding agents daily and can turn an ambiguous problem into a working prototype quickly.

- Experience building zero-to-one agentic AI products at fast-growing companies with strong engineering teams.
