  • Be the product expert and evangelize capabilities for Agent Builder through content like blog posts and open source projects
  • Work with a broad ecosystem of AI partners including cloud service providers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) and community developers

  • Bias to action: You are able to move fast and quickly learn from experiments and tests. You utilize AI tools to help accelerate your processes and bring clarity to your decisions.
  • Leadership and Influence: Demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organization, align multiple stakeholders toward a common vision, and drive execution in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
  • Communication Excellence: Outstanding spoken and written communication skills. You can distill complex engineering details into compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences, including executive leadership.
