  • Hands-on use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot in daily engineering work.
  • Good judgement on where AI adds value and where a simpler approach works better.
  • Ability to explain technical trade-offs clearly to product and business teams.

Nice To Have

  • Experience with agent interoperability standards and tool protocols.
  • Experience with durable workflow engines.
  • Integration experience with ERP, CRM or field service systems.
  • Experience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
  • Familiarity with JavaScript or TypeScript.
