Qualification
Required
You have built and shipped AI-powered features or products in production
You understand the full lifecycle: from model selection and prompt engineering through deployment, monitoring, and iteration
You write production code daily
You can pick up a complex PR, identify the architectural risk, and suggest a better approach with concrete implementation guidance
Your code is something other engineers learn from
Strong across backend and frontend
You understand APIs, event-driven architecture, and how data flows through complex systems

You understand the tradeoffs between approaches, not just the patterns
You know when to invest in a clean abstraction and when to ship the pragmatic solution

You personally use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) and can demonstrate measurable productivity gains
You have developed workflows and patterns that multiply your output
You raise the bar through code reviews, design sessions, and pairing
Engineers seek your input because your guidance makes them better, not because you have a title
Preferred

You can show us recent commits, PRs, or open-source contributions from the last 6 months that demonstrate your craft
You have a strong opinion, backed by experience, on how AI changes the way we should design and build software systems
You can demonstrate a specific AI-assisted development workflow that multiplied your output
You have experience working across both product and infrastructure domains, and can articulate how you navigated the tension between speed-to-market and platform investment
