• Hands‑on experience with Python, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and Infrastructure as Code, preferably AWS and Terraform
• Understanding of AI platform topics such as observability, governance, data privacy, rate limiting, cost management, and secure LLM usage
• Passion for people development, technical excellence, and building high-performing engineering teams
• Strong analytical thinking, both in the technical and business domain
• Excellent communication skills that are clear, concise, and tailored to engineering, product, and business stakeholders
• Extreme sense of ownership and a pragmatic, hands‑on mentality
• Experience with LangGraph, LiteLLM, Langfuse, Datadog, MCP servers, or similar technologies is a plus
