• 5+ years building production backend systems in Python, with real async I/O experience
• Hands-on experience designing and scaling REST or async APIs, including dependency injection and clean service architecture
• Practical experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, or similar) and building AI-readiness into backend systems from the ground up
• Real experience with vector databases and RAG-style retrieval architectures, not just reading about them
• Strong relational database skills: schema design, query optimization, and migration discipline
• AI-augmented delivery: you use AI across the delivery lifecycle, not just code generation, and can say which models suit which problems and where you don't use them. You review AI-generated code knowing its failure modes, and you have set the guardrails others work inside — review expectations for generated code, provenance and licensing checks, and clear boundaries for what customer data enters a prompt and what a security or compliance review will ask for.
• End-to-end CI/CD ownership, from build and test through packaging and deployment
• A self-starting, go-getter mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and owning a problem until it's actually solved
• Bonus: experience with multi-agent orchestration frameworks (Semantic Kernel, LangChain, or similar) and LLM cost/observability tooling
