• Comfort working in cloud environments, particularly AWS, with a track record of shipping models to production
• Proficiency with LLM-based coding assistants as a core part of the development workflow
• A problem-solving orientation: you engage with the business context around your work and take ownership of outcomes
• Excellent written and oral communication skills; able to present complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Ability to work effectively in a remote environment, manage multiple workstreams, and re-prioritize as business needs shift
