• Hands‑on experience withClaude Code and/or Cursor Agentsin daily workflows.
• Genuine enthusiasm for“vibe‑coding”—comfortable letting generative tools co‑create, iterate and refactor alongside you.
• Strong Python skillsand the agility to hop between front‑end and back‑end contexts as needed.
• Production use ofAI‑agent frameworkssuch asLangGraph, CrewAIor direct integration via theOpenAI SDK.
• Demonstrated ability toautomate Figma designs into codevia MCP pipelines and custom agents.

Nice to have:
