Lead through sound technical decisions, hands-on implementation, and support for other engineers.

At least 5 years of relevant engineering experience, including shipping LLM-powered systems used by real customers and owning them after launch.
Strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on TypeScript experience; Python experience is useful.
Practical experience with agent orchestration, tool calling, and context management.
