• Experience owning a technical deployment end to end, from initial build through customer adoption and ongoing maintenance.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or similar.
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, including backend and frontend development, data modeling, and workflow systems.
• Experience in software-focused AI, an early-stage technology company, or public sector and government-facing work is helpful.
• A technical degree or equivalent experience, with strong computer science or engineering fundamentals.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States without employer visa sponsorship.
