  • Direct line management experience – growth conversations, performance management, and the hard conversations that come with it
  • Active daily use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) with strong opinions on how to use them well
  • Comfort with operational ownership – incident management, on-call, observability
