  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience leading technical initiatives across multiple products and engineering organizations.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Experience integrating OpenAI, Anthropic, or other production-grade LLM providers.
  • Knowledge of agent architectures, MCP servers, AI orchestration frameworks, and AI platform design.
  • Experience with vector databases, embeddings, semantic search, and retrieval architectures.
  • Familiarity with actor-model frameworks such as Orleans or Akka.
  • Experience designing scalable CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar technologies.
  • Experience supporting applications in highly regulated industries such as audit, tax, finance, legal, or compliance.
  • Knowledge of AI reliability, evaluation, testing, governance, and safety frameworks.
