• Proven technical leadership experience in a start‑up or scale‑up (ideally from Seed to Series A)
• Hands‑on expertise with OpenAI integrations or other LLM‑based solutions
• Technical experience with Node.js, Python, and SQL
• Experience with API design and development for both internal and external use cases
• Knowledge of ISO / compliance
