• Proven track record building interactive, performance‑optimized e‑commerce or consumer‑facing web applications using SvelteKit (or advanced Svelte).


• Hands‑on experience deploying and managing production workloads in both Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).


• Hands‑on experience working with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build secure ecosystem integrations for LLMs.


• Demonstrated experience designing autonomous agents, multi‑agent orchestrations, and complex tool‑use (function calling) paradigms.


• Deep understanding of API integration, fine‑tuning patterns, and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) using Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic models.


• Strong background in system design, specifically balancing trade‑offs between latency, cost, and accuracy when integrating AI into revenue‑generating e‑commerce flows.


• Proven success as an individual contributor in fast‑paced, agile environments.

• Experience building complex, high‑transaction e‑commerce systems involving dynamic pricing, real‑time inventory management, or high‑scale loyalty programs (travel industry background is a strong plus).


• Experience building complex reasoning pipelines, semantic routing architectures, or custom retrieval logic to supply AI agents with enterprise business rules.


• Knowledge of LLM monitoring, evaluation, and observability tools.

• Post‑secondary degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related discipline.
