• Experience evaluating, procuring, or governing AI/SaaS tools at an organizational level, including vendor assessment, license management, and cost governance.
  
• Strong Python skills for automation, tooling, and lightweight AI workflow and integration development.
• Practical, daily use of AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or similar) in your own engineering workflows.
• Experience designing developer workflows, internal platforms, or engineering self-service capabilities with a focus on adoption and usability.
• Solid AWS experience with familiarity with Bedrock, API Gateway, or equivalent managed AI and cloud services.
• Strong observability mindset with the ability to instrument AI tooling and workflows with meaningful metrics and usage signals.
