Experience Expectations

Candidates should be prepared to explain what they personally built, owned, decided, and shipped.

Qualifying product ownership involves taking a meaningful product from an idea into production. Prototypes, proofs of concept, hackathon projects, maintenance work, or team achievements without clear individual ownership do not satisfy this requirement.

Big Tech experience is welcome when accompanied by meaningful startup, scale-up, or hypergrowth experience. Candidates must bring both recent frontend experience and substantial backend depth.

Developer-facing experience means building products or tools for engineers; simply consuming APIs or SDKs is insufficient. Similarly, routine use of AI assistants or autocomplete tools does not establish the required AI experience. Candidates should demonstrate applied AI work or a substantial, concrete improvement to an engineering workflow.
