• Build and harden CI/CD, deployment pipelines, and infrastructure on Vercel
• Tune Postgres for performance, reliability, and cost

• Strong interest in building vertical AI agents and shipping AI-native products
• Fluent with AI coding agents in day-to-day work (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar). You treat them as leverage, not a novelty.
