• <li>Strong technical judgment and the ability to independently solve complex engineering problems</li>
• <li>Excellent communication skills and comfort collaborating across teams and disciplines</li>
• <li>Comfortable operating in ambiguity, scoping and running experiments when the right approach isn't known yet</li>
• <li>Hands-on experience prototyping with LLMs or agentic systems (evals, fine-tuning, RAG, tool use, orchestration frameworks)</li>

• <li>Identify and communicate risks, unknowns, and open questions clearly to stakeholders</li>
• <h3>Success Measures:</h3>
• <li>In three months, have run and documented at least one AI capability experiment, with a clear recommendation on whether and how to pursue it further</li>
• <li>In three months, demonstrate the ability to move quickly from idea to working prototype</li>
• <li>In six months, have influenced the org's roadmap or tooling direction by surfacing a capability two to three steps ahead of current need, backed by evidence from your experimentation</li>
