- Mentor engineers on safe design, defensive programming, and failure handling practices.
Experience Requirements:
- 5–8 years of software engineering experience with strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript.
- Advanced experience in AWS, including Lambda, Fargate, and API Gateway.
- Advanced experience with Infrastructure as Code in production, including Terraform.
- Proven ability to design and implement scalable backend services and APIs across service boundaries.

- Experience designing enforcement, filtering, or validation logic spanning multiple services.
- Track record of defining interfaces, contracts, or patterns adopted by other engineers.
- Experience with agentic workflows or multi-agent systems.
- Familiarity with LLM integration patterns such as prompt injection detection, guardrail design, or output filtering.
- Nice to have: experience with AWS Bedrock, guardrail configuration, AgentCore runtimes, multi-step workflow systems, or a background in platform engineering or developer tooling.
