- Define autonomy spectrum per capability (human-in-the-loop, AI-assisted, agentic) and the trust & control experience.
- Identify and mitigate misuse and risk pre-launch; define monitoring, audit trail, and rollback for autonomous capabilities.
- Build prototypes, scripts, and evaluation harnesses; file precise bug reports and behavior-change requests.

- Deep fluency with frontier models and agentic systems behavior, evaluation, tool use, orchestration frameworks, and common failure modes.
- Experience reading model evaluations and translating them into launch bars and acceptance criteria.
- Expert-level AI proficiency and responsible AI practice: bias, fairness, transparency, privacy, and company AI standards.
- Multiple years as a software engineer prior to product; hands-on experience building agentic evaluations (SWE-bench suites, LLM-judge rubrics, regression harnesses).
- Direct, daily collaboration experience with research and design teams and track record taking prototypes to production at scale.
- External visibility in the agentic product space (talks, published thinking, recognized contributions).
- Clear APEX vision and strategy aligned to business outcomes.
- Agentic capabilities shipped with explicit authority, safety, escalation boundaries, monitoring, audit trail, and rollback.
- Launch bars for non-deterministic systems defined and trusted by Engineering, Security, and leadership.
