  • At least 7 years building and running production systems.
  • Solid artificial intelligence and machine learning foundations, including reasoning about model failure modes.
  • Experience designing and shipping production LLM applications and agentic workflows, beyond demos, proofs of concept, or notebooks.
  • Experience with agentic orchestration, including multi-step workflows, graph-based orchestration, tool use, state management, and recovery from partial failure.
