Ship agent systems to customers and iterate based on production feedback.
Contribute across infrastructure, orchestration, customer collaboration, and team growth.

Strong Python skills and hands-on experience building production systems.
Experience implementing agent memory and context retrieval for real operational data, not only demo datasets.

Experience with agent orchestration, infrastructure, workflow management, or agent tooling.
