  • Experience with async programming, concurrency, and scalable services
  • Hands-on experience with MCP or similar protocol-based integrations
  • Strong understanding of:
    • API design
    • request/response flows
    • system behavior in production
  • Ability to clearly explain what they built and how it works end-to-end
  • Experience building tools/services used by other systems (not just consuming APIs)
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working with LLMs or AI agent workflows
  • Understanding of:
    • tool calling
    • agent workflows
    • structured outputs / schemas
  • Exposure to:
    • LangChain / LangGraph / similar frameworks
    • OpenAI, Bedrock, or other LLM APIs
  • Experience integrating systems into AI-driven workflows
