• Provide strong system and people leadership, guiding the team to build robust architectures while mentoring them in AI-first excellence
• Use AI IDEs (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, or equivalent) as core development tools
• Use AI coding agents in daily work (including sub-agents / agent teams)
• Apply context engineering and prompting to improve speed and quality
• Review, validate, and harden AI-generated code for production use
• Collaborate closely with product/design/AI/engineering teammates
• Contribute to AI-first engineering practices and standards

• Hands-on experience using AI coding agents in real projects
• Experience with agent-based workflows (sub-agents, agent teams, orchestration)
• Strong practical skills in context engineering and prompting for coding tasks
• Your workflow has been primarily AI-driven (you write little/minimal code manually and focus on direction, context, validation, and quality)
• Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills
  
  

Nice to Have

• Cross-stack experience (frontend + backend)
• Experience with testing automation, cloud, DevOps
• Experience creating reusable prompts / agent playbooks
• Experience mentoring others in AI-first development
