- Share ownership of results with engineers and use AI tools daily to build and prototype.

- Experience with AI/ML platforms, such as LLM orchestration, model evaluation, fine-tuning, retrieval or agent frameworks.
- Experience setting and enforcing standards for interfaces between a platform and the teams that consume it.
- Practical experience building agents, scripts or automated workflows with AI, going well beyond writing prompts.
- Ability to work on-site five days a week in San Francisco.
