You’re also AI-native and tech-savvy, using tools like ChatGPT, ideally Claude Code, Cursor, Anti-Gravity or similar daily at an intermediate–advanced level and certainly come from that type of company environment eg AI native or early adopters as this business aims to become AI first (where appropriate).
