You Might Thrive in This Role If You Bring 5+ years of experience in a technical, customer-facing role as a Forward Deployed Engineer, a Software Engineer with consulting exposure, or a founder with hands-on deployment experience. Experience building or consuming MCP servers or agent frameworks. Have scoped and delivered complex systems in fast-moving or ambiguous environments you know how to sequence work and protect delivery without slowing everything down. Write and review production-quality code in Python, TypeScript or comparable stacks; you contribute directly in the code when it matters. Have production experience with LLMs: advanced prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale and you actively stay current with the latest capabilities and implementation patterns. Have debugged hard problems in live distributed systems under time pressure and can write a postmortem that actually prevents recurrence. Have shipped integrations that started as customer-specific work and became broadly reusable product capability. Communicate clearly with engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike; you conduct discovery well, convey technical concepts to diverse audiences, and spot risks early enough to act on them. Nice to Have Background in enterprise platform engineering, multi-tenancy design, or large-scale monorepo tooling. Prior work with model routing, inference infrastructure, or LLM gateway systems.
