- At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience.
- A track record of shipping a product to real users and explaining what broke and how you fixed it.

- Heavy daily use of AI coding tools.
- Relevant background through early engineering work at a leading AI or high-growth startup, founding or technical leadership experience, production-grade systems work, or strong technical training.
- Willingness to relocate from Europe to San Francisco by January 2027.
