Requirements

workflow to accelerate delivery. You will treat AI as a force multiplier but review all AI-generated code with extreme rigor-never shipping code you do not fully understand.AI Evaluation & Verification: Design systematic evaluation frameworks for AI systems. You will build evaluation datasets, run LLM-as-judge experiments, and critically assess AI outputs for quality, bias, and hallucination risks before they reach production.Rapid Prototyping: Build complete, working full-stack solutions rapidly to test core assumptions and establish trust with stakeholders. You know how to balance necessary technical debt with delivery speed to prove business value.Problem Discovery & Specification: Embed with users to discover latent needs. You will write exceptionally precise requirements and specifications-understanding that in the AI era, clear human intent is required for AI tools to generate accurate solutions.Who You Are:A "Polymath" Builder: We highly value diverse, non-traditional career paths (e.G., transitioning from science, academia, or other engineering disciplines into software). You can rapidly learn new industry domains and seamlessly translate between business and engineering.T-Shaped Technical Breadth: You possess expert-level, hands-on depth in Full-Stack Development and Architecture, backed by strong foundational skills in Cloud Platforms (AWS/GCP, Terraform) and DevOps.Outcome Owner: You take extreme end-to-end ownership of your features.
