## About the Role

* Engineering background. You're a genuine builder. Proficient in Python and at least one of TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, or Go; comfortable across data plumbing, APIs, and a bit of front-end when a demo needs it.
 * Genuine curiosity about agentic AI and LLM systems: prompt/tool design, evals, orchestration, guardrails, and the failure modes of agents in production. You don't need to have built them at scale, but you should be hungry to.
 * Data fluency. You can wrangle messy, large-scale, real-world data and reason about storage, pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
 * Executive presence and operator empathy. You can hold a credible technical conversation with a CTO and sit with a frontline user to understand their actual workflow. You listen before you build.
 * Bias to ship. You move with speed and precision, iterate with users, and are energized (not frustrated) by evolving objectives.
 * Willingness to travel up to ~25% to customer sites, and to be onsite in the Bay Area with the core team.

What we value (nice-to-haves)

 * Experience integrating into regulated or security-sensitive enterprise environments (isolated VMs, on-prem/VPC, SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP-adjacent).
 * Prior forward-deployed / solutions-engineering / delivery experience at an enterprise-software or infra company.
 * A track record of turning a first deployment into a much larger footprint.
