- Design and maintain a fully typed, checker-friendly SDK experience.
- Test compatibility across Python versions, sync and async frameworks, workers, serverless environments, and notebooks.
- Implement realtime functionality including long-lived WebSocket connections, reconnection, subscriptions, and presence semantics.
- Track platform changes and keep the SDK, changelog, migration guides, release notes, and documentation aligned.

- Fluency with asyncio and designing libraries for both synchronous and asynchronous callers.
- Knowledge of Python library packaging, pyproject.toml, wheels, tooling, dependency management, and version-support policies.
- Experience with unit, type-level, and end-to-end testing against a real stack, including regression tests.
- Strong technical writing for design documents, changelogs, issue responses, and public documentation.
- Autonomy in identifying, scoping, and delivering important work in ambiguous environments.
- Clear communication with technical and non-technical audiences and experience working in async or globally distributed teams.
