Over 10 years of experience with strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of turning ambiguous goals into well-scoped, shippable milestones
Leadership: Can create technical roadmap and has a strong ability to plan and execute very large projects. Motivate the team for the goal
Enjoys learning new technologies and has demonstrated innovation through past work
Thrive in ambiguity and can solve business problems through technology
Ownership: Demonstrates strong ownership and accountability for the success of the project and the team
Collaboration: Demonstrates strong communication and collaboration skills. Able to partner with cross-functional teams and engineering teams across time zones
Experience building or operating developer tooling (CI/CD, infrastructure workflows, internal platforms) with a focus on reliability, observability, and developer trust
Comfortable with creating with AI agents and hardening them: defining guardrails, adding evaluation/testing, and iterating based on real workflow feedback
Comfortable with creating with agentic workflows: pros-cons of code based orchestration; cost analysis; scalability issues; very long running workflows; verification/ralph loops
Systems-level debugging and performance thinking; you can identify bottlenecks, choose pragmatic fixes, and avoid accidental complexity
Ability to multiply the team: clear written communication, high-quality reviews, and coaching/mentoring that helps others ship faster and better
Some knowledge about building AI harness would be additive - tool building; context harness
A NOTE ON AI
You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on
