 * Demonstrated experience building AI-native applications - LLM integration, agents, retrieval, evaluation harnesses, and automation workflows.
 * Track record of moving from an ambiguous question to a defensible technical recommendation on a short timeline.

 * Demonstrated judgment about when a technology is ready and when it is not - including examples of work you stopped, and why.
 * Proficiency with modern backend and cloud technologies (e.g., Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript, APIs, event-driven systems, containerized deployment).
 * Experience designing evaluations for non-deterministic systems, and comfort reasoning about cost, latency, and failure modes.
 * Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated experience presenting directly to executive leadership and defending a recommendation under scrutiny.
 * Ability to structure and communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to senior, non-technical audiences, and to state uncertainty plainly rather than hiding it.
 * High tolerance for ambiguity, and the discipline to time-box work rather than let it expand.
 * Willingness to hand work away once the question is answered, and to let another team own the outcome.
 * Solid understanding of Agile and iterative delivery models.
 * Deep alignment with and commitment to the WWT Core Values.
