  • Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and Infrastructure-as-Code technologies such as Terraform or Env0.
  • Familiarity with AI developer tooling, including coding agents, LLM APIs, prompt engineering, MCP, evals, and agentic workflows.
  • Comfortable prototyping solutions and engaging directly with technology.
