- Practical experience building or integrating GenAI/MLâpowered features or services in productionâsuch as LLMâbased workflows, MLâdriven recommendations, or intelligent automationâincluding an understanding of evaluation, observability, and common failure modes.
- Demonstrated ability to use AI tools and agents to write, review, and validate detailed technical design documents (TDDs), specifications, and test plans as part of a specâdriven, agentic development workflow, while maintaining ownership of technical decisions, quality, and correctness.
- Experience using GenAI coding tools (for example, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) and/or agents in your development workflow, with a demonstrated ability to validate AIâassisted output and maintain high standards for quality, security, and maintainability.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and leadership skills, with the ability to work effectively across crossâfunctional, diverse teams and to explain complex technical conceptsâincluding GenAI/ML tradeoffsâto nonâtechnical partners.
