  • Automate processes using LLMs + agent frameworks
  • Debug and optimise based on real-world usage

  • Strong engineering background (Python, TS/JS, etc.)
  • Experience building production systems + integrations
  • Interest in AI tooling and modern dev workflows
  • Pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset
