  • The critical thinking skills to evaluate AI-generated outputs, spot architectural gaps or hallucinations, and refine the output to production-quality levels.
  • An understanding of when AI can accelerate development versus when manual engineering is strictly required.
Nice-to-Haves (Bonus Points)
  • Experience with Kotlin or Go (Golang).
  • Experience with agent-based AI orchestration tools (e.g., LangGraph, Claude Code).
  • Familiarity with advanced developer workflow environments (e.g., tmux, Warp, advanced scripting).
