• The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, 3+ years of direct management experience, and a track record of helping engineers grow through coaching, mentorship, and clear feedback.
• They will also have strong communication skills, an ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and design, and a profound curiosity about language models, AI, and building products that improve reasoning and decision-making.
