• A genuine curiosity about where AI technology is heading, including areas such as agentic systems, MCP‑based integrations, LLMOps, retrieval‑augmented generation, AI governance, observability, and secure deployment patterns.
• The ability to apply hard‑earned software and architecture experience to today's evolving AI landscape, combining proven engineering discipline with a modern understanding of how AI‑enabled systems should and could be built, secured, and operated.
• Experience acting as technical lead, architect, or senior advisor in customer‑facing or internal development initiatives.
