Demonstrated experience architecting asynchronous, distributed, high-throughput systems in production
Strong expertise with Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, and asyncio or equivalent
Proficiency with Node.js, React, TypeScript, and Express, with sound judgment on when to use each stack
Deep knowledge of SQL and experience with distributed messaging and streaming systems such as Kafka, SQS, SNS, or RabbitMQ
Solid cloud experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and observability
Ability to navigate ambiguity, make principled trade-offs, and lead without formal authority
Experience working in remote, asynchronous, distributed teams with strong written and verbal communication skills
Curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging technologies and their real-world applications

Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy industries such as insurance, finance, or healthcare
Background in high-growth startup environments where systems and teams scaled rapidly
Proven track record of mentoring senior and mid-level engineers
Public technical contributions through open source, talks, or publications
Why This Role:
Strong funding, long runway, and clear momentum toward category leadership
Ownership over foundational systems that define how autonomous AI agents operate in production
High autonomy and trust with direct influence on long-term technical direction
