• Experience developing evaluation and tracing infrastructure for AI agents, including production feedback loops.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, ideally with a full-stack background and applied LLM experience.
• Experience with conversational AI, agent orchestration, language models, voice, SMS, and agent development frameworks.
