Ideal Qualifications

• Experience shipping AI-powered features in production (LLM-based products, agentic workflows, recommendation systems, or other customer-facing AI).
• Comfort with modern AI-augmented development workflows (Cursor, LLMs, etc.).
• Background working with real-world operational data (telematics, sensor data, work orders, inspections).
