Requirements
- AI & Agentic Development
- Hands-on experience building LLM-based applications RAG systems, multi-agent workflows, tool-use patterns, prompt and context engineering.
- Familiarity with modern AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, agentic IDE workflows) as daily practice, not novelty.
- Understanding of agentic orchestration patterns when to use single vs. multi-agent architectures, how to handle memory and state.
- Software Engineering
- Solid, hands-on software engineering fundamentals: you have built and shipped real systems, not just scripts.
- Proficiency in at least one backend language (Python strongly preferred) and the ability to read and contribute across a polyglot codebase.
- Experience with REST and streaming APIs, authentication patterns, and integration with enterprise systems.
- Data Engineering & Platforms
- Ability to build and maintain data pipelines ingestion, transformation, serving, and monitoring using tools such as Airflow, Kafka, dbt, or equivalents.
- Working familiarity with modern data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or similar), including data modeling and performance fundamentals.
- Strong debugging instincts with imperfect, real-world data in production environments.
- Supply Chain Domain (Nice to Have) Prior exposure to supply chain planning, logistics, or operations domains is a genuine plus not a requirement
- 2 – 5 years of professional experience in software engineering, data engineering, solutions engineering, or a technical-founder role. Strong candidates at either end of that range are welcome to apply.
- Prior exposure to customer-facing technical roles solutions engineering, forward deployment, technical consulting, or a startup where you wore multiple hats is a strong signal, though not a requirement.
