Nice to have:

• Background building AI-powered applications, AI agents, or integrating large language models
• Exposure to AI frameworks, orchestration platforms, or agent development patterns
• Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architecture, or microservices patterns
• Familiarity with Dapr, Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud infrastructure tools
• Work on real-time systems, message queues, or async workflows
• Open-source contributions or products built primarily for developers
• Time spent at early-stage or rapidly scaling technology companies
