- Experience building and owning production agentic or LLM-powered systems that integrate with third-party APIs.
- Experience with Python, TypeScript, LLMs, and commerce or marketing integrations such as Shopify, advertising APIs, or email platforms.
- Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and the ability to create structure and prioritize in an ambiguous environment.
