• Helping define how AI and agentic systems fit into everyday development

• Strong software engineering background (language‑agnostic)
• A genuine interest in developer tools and improving developer workflows
• Ability to think from the user’s perspective, not just the technical one
• Clear communication and comfort working in a product‑first culture
• Experience from a top school, major tech company, or well‑known startup is helpful
