Preferred: - Experience building with AI SDKs / agent frameworks (e.g., TypeScript/Python SDKs, planning libraries) and shipping developer-facing examples. - Production agent security/sandboxing, red-teaming, and policy/PII enforcement. - Operated eval platforms or built judge models/heuristics; experience leading metrics reviews with product/UX. - Customer-facing enablement: templates or reference implementations adopted by external teams at scale.
