• At least one shipped LLM-powered feature in production, with an eval story
• Strong skills in a modern web stack (TypeScript / React / Node or Python / Postgres / AWS or GCP)
• Excellent written English
• Legal authorization to work from India or Pakistan as a remote contractor with a US company
• Master's or PhD from a tier-1 institution
• Former founder, first-five engineer at a funded startup, or shipped products that reached real users at scale

• Public GitHub or a personal AI project we can actually try
• A personal project you built because you wanted to
