• Experience with Python or TypeScript; familiarity with LangGraph, browser-use agents, or autonomous agent frameworks is relevant.

• Ability to build and own systems from 0 to 1 in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment.

• Experience as an early-stage founding engineer or at an established technology company.
