Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including demonstrated expertise in complex architectures, strong Python and TypeScript skills, and deep knowledge of distributed systems.
• Extensive experience designing and delivering agentic systems, including tool-using agents, MCP or comparable protocols, retrieval, context engineering, multi-agent orchestration, and evaluation frameworks.
• Proven track record of bringing AI solutions into enterprise production environments, with a strong understanding of security, compliance, multi-tenancy, cost management, reliability, and operational excellence at scale.
• Strong ability to evaluate AI systems responsibly by defining quality standards, developing evaluation approaches, interpreting results, and identifying real-world failure modes.
• Deep understanding of common AI model failure modes, including hallucinations, context degradation, prompt injection, non-determinism, and silent regressions, as well as the architectural controls required to mitigate them.
• Regular use of AI coding agents, combined with critical review practices and accountability for correctness, security, maintainability, and architectural alignment.
