Example projects

• Multiple agents collaborating on one shared Canvas investigation each claiming a hypothesis, publishing findings, and narrowing the search space for the others so it resolves faster (blog).
• Auto-investigation the moment an SLO burn alert fires the agent forms hypotheses and prepares visualizations before a human looks, cutting mean-time-to-insight for on-call (o11ycon 2026).
• Skills that encode a team's domain expertise e.g. Kubernetes thresholds so agents and human colleagues can lean on them (o11ycon 2026).

What you'll bring:

• AI and agent engineering experience. You've shipped LLM-based systems people relied on in production not demos, not fine-tuned models in a research context. You know where agent systems break and how to design around it.
• End-to-end ownership. On a small team there's no handoff queue. You can take something from rough prototype to production-grade without needing someone behind you to do the durable engineering.
• Current judgment, not just past experience. You have informed opinions about what's shifted in agent design in the last six to twelve months that would change how you'd build today.
• Agent architecture depth. You understand how a fast, high-cardinality data store changes what an agent can reason about, and how to design for that.
• Product judgment. You can look at what the agent layer does today and see what it should do next and make that case with a prototype, not a deck.

Even better

Observability or developer-tools background. Engineers are your users; you'll ramp faster with fluency in that world, and the work is better.

Familiarity with eval frameworks, agent tooling, RAG, and prompt engineering.
