• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
• Experience mentoring and coaching other engineers.
• A pragmatic and responsible approach to GenAI, understanding its limitations and risks, and actively establishing guardrails (e.g. reviews, testing, policies) to ensure safe, compliant and scalable use in production environments.
• Experience working in agile product teams.

Why Join AutoProff?
