REQUIREMENTS: - 5+ years building applications from scratch using TypeScript/Node.js/React, with full-stack depth - Experience leading hands-on projects end-to-end in production environments, preferably client-facing - Background in Solution Architecture or Software Engineering with strong grasp of AI/LLM systems: agent architectures, MCP or comparable tool-use protocols, evals, and prompt-to-production workflows - Experience navigating C-suite relationships and influencing executive decisions in ambiguous environments - Track record of turning one-off delivery work into reusable assets, product requirements, or repeatable playbooks - Entrepreneurial, fast-moving mindset focused on long-term impact over immediate fixes
