Requirements

• 7+ years of professional engineering experience, currently working at senior level or above (Senior/Lead/Staff Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, or technical lead on customer-facing delivery).
• Has personally owned deployments end-to-end in real client or enterprise environments – first call through production go-live and adoption.
• Depth across the FDE spine: customer discovery and design sessions, scoping and delivery planning under ambiguity, stakeholder management without formal authority; LLM and agent systems in production (prompting, tool/function calling, orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph/LangChain/CrewAI, guardrails, evals, RAG over enterprise data); APIs and integrations (REST, webhooks, JSON/GraphQL), Python, and deployment on at least one major cloud.
• Can explain why an architecture or scoping decision was made, not just how it was implemented, and can diagnose and critique someone else's work live.
• Strong technical communication: translating between technical and business audiences, comfortable leading a live session, whiteboarding a solution, and writing clear, specific review feedback.
• Strong English C1+ — instruction and review are in English for a US-based audience.
• Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day technical work.
