# What We’re Looking For

### Must-haves:

* 2–4 years of software engineering experience (CS degree or equivalent background).
* Strong backend development skills with Python + FastAPI.
* Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and API design.
* A 0 → 1 builder mindset — comfortable creating from scratch.
* Ability to thrive in fast-paced startup environments.

### Nice-to-haves (but not required):

* Startup experience leading significant projects.
* AI expertise: LangChain, RAG, embeddings, multi-agent systems, fine-tuning.
