• Your code is in production at global organizations or used by thousands or millions of individuals.
• Expert in at least one modern language like Python, with experience writing and/or reviewing millions of lines of code.
• Proficiency in at least one LLM framework (e.g., LangChain).
• Experience building stateful agentic workflows more complex than basic RAG; bonus points for a pre-LLM background in knowledge graphs or semantic search.
