- Agentic/AI Experience: Hands-on experience building LLM-powered or agentic systems (LangChain, multi-agent orchestration, RAG) is very strongly preferred.
- Industry Relevance: Background in adtech, advertising, media intelligence, analytics, or sports-media data is highly valued.
- Global Scope: Comfortable working across distributed, international teams as we expand from the US into Europe.
- Software Rigor: Strong grasp of architecture and design patterns, with a track record of mentoring other engineers.
- Professional fluency in written and spoken English: Strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with distributed engineering, product, and business teams across North America, India, and Europe.
