  • Strong tenure at a recognized early-stage or high-growth startup.

  • Hands-on use of AI dev tools and agents to automate manual work.

  • Strong executive presence and polished communication with senior business leaders.

  • Sound business instincts and the ability to shape open-ended business needs into well-defined engineering work.

  • Comfort travelling to client sites 2 to 3 days per week.

  • For candidates with under 2 years of experience, a technical degree from a top university.
