Manage the runtime environment, incorporating model routing, scheduling, event-based triggers, and agent delegation.

Accumulate at least three years of specific background working on developer tools, platform products, or builder and automation software.

Demonstrate a strong track record of shipping zero-to-one builder or automation surfaces with a solid grasp of product-led growth.
Show technical depth by reading code, understanding API and SDK design, and knowing how agent frameworks operate.
Display customer obsession through conducting independent discovery calls.
Exhibit strong written communication skills focused on detailed PRDs rather than slide decks.
Maintain an AI-native mindset with daily experience building with agents and informed opinions on orchestration.
