- Strong command of at least two major languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Go, or Java) and experience working with SQL databases.
- Practical experience building for live, non-mocked environments and handling multi-turn system interactions.
- Outstanding attention to detail and the ability to provide clear, high-density technical feedback on complex system behaviors.
Nice to have
- Expertise building multi-stage coordination tasks where data acquisition leads to reasoned output.
- Hands-on experience integrating agents with live tools such as Supabase, Gmail, and various APIs to solve real-world problems.
