• Strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript and React.
• Strong proficiency in Relational Databases.
• Experience with AI agents, tool-using LLM apps, or orchestrated workflows.

• Establish standards for agent evaluation, observability, reliability, security, and governance.
• Prototype new agentic capabilities and turn successful experiments into production systems.
• Build complete, usable products—not just demonstrations or isolated model integrations.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity and product delivery through agentic development.
• Mentor engineers and help shape an agentic-first technical strategy across the organization.
• Collaborate with product and engineering leaders to connect agentic capabilities to meaningful outcomes.
