  • 5+ years of people management experience.
  • 2+ years of experience leading teams that deploy AI applications in production.
  • Technical depth in AI/ML systems, LLM APIs, agent frameworks, and cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
  • Architecture judgment to review designs, evaluate tradeoffs, and identify production risks.
